What are teaching interns?

Teaching interns are individuals, often students or recent graduates, who work in educational settings to gain practical experience in teaching. They assist experienced teachers in the classroom, help plan lessons, support student learning, and may gradually take on more teaching responsibilities under supervision. The internship is designed to provide hands-on exposure to classroom management, curriculum development, and instructional techniques while allowing interns to develop their own teaching skills. Teaching internships are commonly part of teacher education programs or requirements for teacher certification.
