International Teaching Clinic Network (ITCN)

The international EU project entitled ‘International Teaching Clinic Network’ (ITCN Erasmus+ Project 930371), led by Professor Dr Elena Stamouli, will run from October 2023 to October 2026. This three-year EU project is funded by Erasmus+ (Project number 2023-1-AT01-KA220-HED-000159316).

What is the aim of the Teaching Clinic?
To combine practice with theory, and not just during teacher training – that is the central aim of the Teaching Clinic (TC). The project links disciplinary and interdisciplinary case-based learning with the interrelationships between school quality, the education system and pedagogical practice.

Partners: University of Vienna (Austria); University of Agricultural and Environmental Education (Austria);
University of Ioannina (Greece); Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain); University of Surabaya (Indonesia).

How does the Teaching Clinic work?
In collaboration with schools in the region, trainee teachers support practising teachers in addressing pedagogical issues. Every day, teachers – regardless of school type or subject – face a multitude of challenges. Often, they have neither the time nor the resources to deal with them adequately. Teachers can submit professional challenges arising from everyday school life (such as the use of flexible teaching approaches, feedback tools, managing diversity in the classroom, and organising parent-teacher meetings) in the form of questions to the TC and its associated online platform. At the TC, students engage with the submitted questions as part of courses running throughout the semester, combining research-based and case-based learning with practical solutions and courses of action.
Student teachers support teachers seeking advice by designing teaching and learning resources and methods based on new research findings, and by evaluating their successful implementation in schools and classrooms. The issues addressed in the TC centre on the provision of services by teacher training students to others (teachers). This offers the participating students, firstly, a realistic learning opportunity and, secondly, a chance to demonstrate public engagement. These services thus address the needs of students, pupils, education policy and the interested public.
