At the start of the year, TSC due to lack of funds decided to have teachers on internship to enhance student’s learning in public institutions. Though some of the teachers have not yet earned they have always taken heart to make sure that students are comfortable in their learning.
The following article has though been written to enlighten our internship teachers that they are required to fill the Internship log book and hence guide them on how to go about the filling also for them to know why they are supposed to fill the book.
Teachers employed on Internship by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) are expected to keep and update a number of records. One of the records to be kept by Teacher Interns is the Teacher- Intern Logbook. This document is to be filled under the guidance of the Mentor’s name.
The Teacher intern fills the following parts of the Logbook:
- Date: This is the date when teaching-learning is executed by the Intern Teacher; during the scheduled lesson.
