The AAU College of Education organized the “Injaz” Portfolio event. Prof. Abdelhafid Belarbi, AAU Vice President, attended the event along with Dr. Omar Khasawneh, Dean of the College of Education, as well as other deans and faculty members.
Prof. Abdelhafid Belarbi, AAU Vice President, expressed his appreciation of the educational programs which reflect the students’ effort and convey creative ideas enriching the students’ academic achievement and learning outcomes.
“This Project has provided students with the opportunity to prepare the portfolios in systematic, methodical ways in line with the standards of academic preparation. It has also given them the chance to start preparing lesson plans and teaching aids as well as familiarize themselves with the educational responsibilities they are about to undertake as teachers,” he added.
On his part, Dr. Omar Khasawneh, Dean of the College of Education, explained that the field training, also known as Practicum, is a key component of teacher education that normally comes towards the end of the program. Throughout the period of field training, students teach actual classes at public and private schools, and they implement teaching methods they have learnt while being monitored closely by qualified supervisors from the College of Education with help from cooperative teachers at the designated schools.
At the end of the ceremony, Prof. Belarbi gave out certificates to the top-achieving students. He also viewed the portfolios which reflected a genuine and relentless effort on the students’ part.
