Welcome to EDC 3344: School attachment and Action Research. This module is designed for all pre-service teachers undertaking three year degree program at the University of Rwanda-College of Education (UR-CE). Through this module, student teachers undertake school attachment in secondary schools or TTCs as a workplace-based learning that enables them to get the school real life experience before their entry in the teaching profession. To this end, school attachment is conceived as an extended school-based placement in which student teachers are expected to consolidate their knowledge and experience across all facets of the role of the teacher in the school. It provides an opportunity to further develop skills in teaching and for student teachers to be mentored in preparing themselves as thoroughly as possible for their early school life experiences.
