TICZA Webinar 3 - The Proof is in the Prototype

TICZA is a collective impact partnership, convened by JET Education Services and involving government, NGO implementers, higher education institutions (HEIs), funders, SACE and teacher unions. Initial Teacher Education (ITE) students studying through distance learning while based in schools are supported by various NGO Implementing Partners, in what TICZA calls extended student teacher internships (ESTIs) as an enrichment of the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) element of teacher education. TICZA aims to show how and under what conditions ESTIs can provide high quality student teacher training, and how the model can be institutionalised within the broader ITE system.

The final webinar of the 2025 NASCEE-TICZA series presented the Prototyping methodology to be applied in the nextstage of the Teacher Internship Collaboration South Africa (TICZA) project. The JET team shared the main elements of the five-year TICZA journey and explored the Prototyping model for the proof-of-concept testing soon to be launched.
