Social awareness and citizenship is integral to teacher education. The practical preparation
of our students will also include an element of Service-Learning, which gives teachers the
unique opportunity to demonstrate their civic responsibilities. Service-Learning is therefore
an essential component of Teaching Experience in The IIE Bachelor of Education degrees,
as it promotes social awareness and develops skills for effective citizenship, paving the
way for life long learning and participation. The integration of Service-Learning into The
IIE Bachelor of Education degrees has been carefully scaffolded to ensure opportunity for
learning experiences across a variety of contexts.
