http://www.teflinternational.com Student teaching has long been required of people studying to become teachers. It enables a student who is going to become a teacher to work in a real classroom with real students under the direct and often constant supervision of a certified and veteran teacher.
The student teacher often spends some time observing the regular classroom teacher and some time teaching the class. The certified teacher than provides constructive feedback about what the student teacher is doing well and what can be improved. This is a valuable experience before embarking on a classroom of one's own.
