Mentored Inquiry in Teaching 2

During this course, the Professional Learning is taken in an educational setting during Year 5 of the Concurrent Program. This course builds upon Mentored Inquiry in Teaching 1, and focuses on further developing teacher candidates’ sense of identity as professionals through ongoing self-directed and collegial learning. It will expand teacher candidates’ capacity to learn from their personal and professional experiences and inquiry.

Practicum 2

The practicum consists of two main components: 1) orientation to schools, communities and systems and 2) opportunities for classroom practice related to the candidate’s specific program. In Year 5, teacher candidates are assigned to a 4-week (20 day) practicum session during the months of April to May in schools or other settings approved by the Ontario College of Teachers.  This does not include the field experiences candidates are involved in throughout their program. More information about the practicum is available on the School-University Partnerships Office (SUPO) website.
