GLOBAL TEACHERS INSTITUTE
The Global Teachers Institute (GTI) is a South African non-profit organisation whose mission is to shift the way children are taught by transforming teacher education. The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and the Department of Basic Education (DBE) have identified the need to improve the teaching practice and school experience component of initial teacher education (ITE) by developing the capacity of schools to facilitate the work-integrated learning and teaching practice experiences of student-teachers through the development of professional practice schools (PPS)1 . The Teaching Practice Project is a school based teacher development programme that supports schools in becoming professional practice schools by facilitating teaching internships and supporting school leaders and in-service teachers to be more effective mentors, teachers and leaders. Student-teachers study via a distance institution and are placed at participating schools to gain professional experience and provide additional support to teachers and learners.
