I am wondering which form is correct.
I want to say that I wanted to gain experience, let's say in a school, as a teacher, and I spent some period of time there with mentor who supervised my activities.
What should I say?
I was "doing my practices" as a teacher at a public school.
or
I was "making my internship" as a teacher at a public school.
or maybe
I was "doing my practice" as a teacher at a public school.
What are your suggestions?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

In the specific case of learning to teach at a school as a student, and as part of an education qualification, that might be called "teaching practice".
(No plural. "Practice" is uncountable in this sense. And remember that "public school" has the exact opposite meaning in British English and American English)
You would not normally be able to do teaching practice except as part of an education qualification.
Otherwise, you could speak of an "internship":
Another useful word might be "apprentice" (A person learning a trade while also studying).
