Overview

The FEO, the Teacher Education Committee (TEC), the university supervisors, along with other community agencies and in consultation with our partner institutions, monitor all functions and activities related to early field experiences including:

  • Managing the online registration of Professional Experience.

  • Ensuring all learning goals are communicated.

  • Securing documentation for licensure.

  • Coordinating with selected schools and on-site cooperative teachers to supervise all relevant activities and processes (e.g. create placements, school visits, class observations, evaluations).

  • Supervising student teaching on campus facilities (ECE Lab, Special Ed Lab & Physical Ed Lab).

  • Conducting preparation workshops, professional trainings, and events (e.g. annual Meydan Forum) before and during the training program. These are tailored to meet the specific needs and requirements of the participants whether students, principals, or teachers.

  •  Developing and maintain partnerships with stakeholders and schools across the different districts.

  • Managing the online field experience platform (under development).

  • Collecting and analyzing data to maintain evidence and support program continuous improvement (e.g. digital portfolios).

Diversity

The Field Experience Office plan for the placement of candidates is designed to ensure candidates are exposed to diverse settings and experience multiple environments in which they carry out a variety of course-related activities. Students are distributed across partner schools under eight education zones in the UAE, and across the different regions of the Emirates. These schools reflect diverse geographical locations – rural and urban – and provide candidates the opportunity to work with diverse students including boys and girls of varying academic levels, ethnicities and languages of instruction. Partner schools include students with special needs. A new FEO framework also targets having international experiences and considers collaboration with multicultural private schools.
