Description
Summary:Educational experiences in Nursery and Primary schools of our local area are essential resources to train future teachers. During the second and third year of the teacher training degree in Educational needs, our students are continually involved in these schools. Throughout these teaching placements they have to develop an activity in relation to the theoretical knowledge acquired at University.

Later, they will have to analyse and evaluate these experiences using different strategies.
