The Teacher Educators have to observe the maximum number of practice lessons of the student-teacher. Observation of one lesson during the first phase of internship and three lessons (probably at the beginning, middle and at the end of Practice Teaching) during the second phase of internship by the Pedagogic course coordinators is mandatory.
