Successful TP Policy: Some Practical Advice
Congratulations on reaching what is to be the truly applied component of the student

teachers educational competencies.
1. Prepare yourself for entering a team of supportive colleagues, mentor and university
supervisor. Remember: your contributions (both in debate sessions and actual
teaching) are equally important to make the team work really profitable.
2. Prepare to observe, firstly, the mentor (approx. 6 classes first two weeks) and,
subsequently, your peer trainees (approx. 36 classes remaining period), since the TP
period consists of 56 hours (4 hours in total, i.e., 3 hours observation + an hour for
reflection and observation feedback, on a weekly basis, and 3 teaching classes + 1
educational class). You have to observe two educational classes before actually
monitoring one. The study of official school documents/records and English curricula
will enhance your insights into actual school life and Ministry of Education cohesion.
3. Feel free to choose any observation sheet from those proposed in this guide, according
to type of lesson observed, your mentors indications or your own teaching intuition.
Remember: learning observation means learning to manage teaching by getting
insights simultaneously into classroom life, live learning and teaching experience
and underlying methodological principles/strategies/concepts.
4. Make a habit to complete observation sheets while observing the class and efface
yourself so as not to distract students or teachers attention (unless your contribution is
required by teacher or even students).
5. Make detailed notes on observation sheets with a view to preparing the ground for the
feedback session with your mentor when lively give and take exchanges are expected.
Remember: be constructively descriptive and not disgracefully judgemental.
6. Be congruent at all times. Speak your mind with self-respect and respect for peers,
always allowing for counter/cross arguments, which prompt understanding, and correct
(self)-assessment.
7. Exercise reflection and communication strategies with your university supervisor too, if
not for sharing impressions and conclusions, for getting hold of some useful
aids/materials, i.e., tapes, textbooks, pictures, etc.
8. Try hard to put yourself into the student/teachers shoes and dont jump to conclusions
until you have pondered all arguments. Remember: common sense, modesty,
politeness and intelligence never go unrewarded.
9. Rules of courtesy also include: punctuality, mobile phone-correctness, fair-play
and sincere commitment among professionals.
10. TRUST YOURSELF, YOUR COLLEAGUES AND FUTURE COLLEAGUES!
GOOD LUCK!
We can never thank enough the mentors whose outstanding competencies and professional
commitment will hopefully convince our students to enter teaching, and honour it.
Its also important to let our students know about the joint efforts of The British Council
from Romania and the Ministry of Education in building a new, trustful professional category, the
mentor, and also in harmonising evaluating criteria/observation sheets/descriptors all over the
country.

Record of School Documents/English Curricula

Educaia pentru o munc de calitate trebuie s vizeze dezvoltarea
capacitilor de proiecie i planificare, de decizie i de asumare a
riscului, de colaborare i de evaluare i reevaluare a rezultatelor. Ea
trebuie s stimuleze, n acelai timp, responsabilitatea pentru munca
realizat, nsoit de acceptarea evalurilor obiective. Seriozitatea i
calitatea bun a muncii depuse nu exclud realizarea acesteia ntr-o
atmosfera plcut, destins, stimulant. Aceast atmosfer trebuie
s se ntoarc n slile de clas din ara noastr, astfel nct elevii
s guste plcerea efortului cu sens, dedicaia pentru o chestiune

Actual Classroom Practice toward Self-Exploration

Where there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much
arguing, much writing, many opinions; for opinion in good men is
but knowledge in the making.
(John Milton, Areopagitica, 1644)
