What is apprentice teaching?

Apprentice teaching is a practical, hands-on training experience for individuals preparing to become teachers. It usually involves working alongside an experienced mentor teacher in a classroom setting, where apprentices gradually take on more responsibility for planning, instruction, and classroom management. The goal is to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge from teacher education programs and real-world teaching skills. Apprentice teaching helps aspiring educators develop confidence and competence before leading their own classrooms.
