SEA TEACHER
The SEA Teacher Project or the
“Pre-Service Student Teacher Exchange in Southeast Asia” is a project that aims
to provide opportunity for pre-service student teachers from universities in
Southeast Asia to have teaching experiences (practicum) in schools in other
countries in Southeast Asia.
Based on the SEAMEO seven priority
areas for the eleven SEAMEO Member countries to work together to improve the
quality of education in Southeast Asia, “Revitalizing Teacher Education”
is one of the priority areas in building and strengthening capacity of teachers
in the region.
The exchange is preferably for 4th
year students whose major are in math, science, English and pre-school. The
duration is for one month and based on the mechanism of cost sharing basis.
Students’ roles and responsibilities are assigned weekly during the one month
period (observe, assist in teaching, teach and reflect). Moreover, the host
universities will provide mentors to supervise and monitor the students
throughout the practicum period.
