Home > Practicum

The Practicum course is an integral component of the teacher education program. The practicum provides Teacher Candidates with an opportunity to integrate academic preparation and educational studies in workplace learning. Framed as a "professional experience", the practicum also provides Teacher Candidates with an opportunity to demonstrate they are meeting the Standards of Practice for the Teaching Profession and the Ethical Standards for the Teaching Profession (Ontario College of Teachers, 2006).

Teacher Candidates are responsible for attending to the important expectations outlined on the Pre-Practicum Checklist &  the Practicum Checklist. These checklists provide TCs with important information, expectations, and are intended to support each TC towards a successful practicum experience.
