Teaching practice

Every year we update and organise our offer in relation to the number and interests of students who
come to study at our department. 
If incoming students are interested in doing teaching practice beyond the courses (Teaching
practice I and II), this is possible in justified cases, as well as e.g. school placement, etc.
In such cases, it is necessary for interested students to contact Barbora.loudova@pedf.cuni.cz at
least 1 month before the beginning of the semester so that we can arrange the extra placement.
