Usually, students are assigned to a school in or near Freiburg. \u00a0If the teacher candidate is assigned to a school outside of Freiburg, it will be within easy reach of rapid transit.<\/p>\n The UBC teacher candidate is usually placed in a grade and subject near the age group and subjects they taught in Canada. For the first few days, teacher candidates usually observe classes being taught, assist whenever possible, and get used to the rhythm and flow of the school. \u00a0By the middle to the end of the first week, teacher candidates are encouraged to try their hand at teaching lessons, and in the second week they should be teaching one or two (or more) lessons a day, or teaching what they and their hosts feel comfortable with.<\/p>\n Please NOTE:\u00a0<\/strong>The first language taught in all elementary schools is French, there are very limited placements available for English only speaking TC’s, thus it is preferred that students with a good level of French apply. There are only two elementary schools that teach English at all.<\/p>\n Even if the teacher candidate is not an English, or English as a Second Language (ESL), major, like most international placements, the schools sees the UBC teacher candidate as a native speaker and will encourage the teacher candidate to speak, model and teach English to their students. \u00a0Thus teacher candidates are encouraged to pay particular attention to the language, literacy content and strategies taught in LLED 353\/360 during their UBC BEd term 1.<\/p>\n PH Wu\u0308rfel – University of Education Freiburg C) Some potential CFE activities that teacher candidates may observe\/teach\/experience are:<\/strong><\/p>\n D) The partner’s larger community:<\/strong><\/p>\n Stadtheater Freiburg Freiburg is a traditional university town that sits on the edge of the western edge of the back forest. \u00a0It is celebrated as the sunniest and warmest city in Germany and is nestled in the heart of the famous Baden wine growing region. \u00a0It has an extensive commuter system that many locals use regularly, and the city core is only open to pedestrians. \u00a0Wikipedia contains a good overview of the city of Freiburg<\/a>, its history and what you might wish to do on the weekends. \u00a0Additionally, past teacher candidates have recommended the Freiburg-Home Guide<\/a> as an unofficial but authoritative guide to Freiburg.<\/p>\n E) <\/strong>Required documents\/vaccinations:<\/strong><\/p>\n Please check the Government of Canada\u2019s Travel Advisories webpage for Germany<\/a>\u00a0for required entry\/exit documents.

The teacher candidate contacts the coordinator, introduces themselves,\u00a0and begins to express their accommodation preferences (e.g., homestay, bed and breakfast, hotel, hostel, or nothing [i.e., the teacher candidate\u00a0has family in Freiburg]). The coordinator will then either suggest relevant accommodations or passing a safe and comfortable accommodation.<\/p>\n The P\u00e4dagogische Hochschule Freiburg coordinator will also recommend modes of travel to\/from the airport.<\/p>\n Note: Although not required or expected, home stays often arrange for weekend trips, include teacher candidates on their own weekend trips, and can suggest safe\/engaging trips for the teacher candidate to take.<\/p>\n G) Estimated costs<\/strong><\/p>\n H) Contact<\/strong><\/p>\n Note!
