Student Teachers

Welcome to the EIS Student section of our website.

It is designed specifically for student teachers to give you some advice on matters that will be important to you such as: going on placement, support and advice available to you as a student teacher and how you can get involved with your union and contribute to shaping Scottish education for future teachers and learners.
