tC quotes

"The practicum is an essential part of your teacher education experience at OISE. It allows you to practice your teaching  (i.e. lesson plans, activities, projects) under the helpful and supportive eye of an Associate Teacher. The practicum also enables you to connect with students who regard you as a teacher and most importantly, look to you as a mentor inside and outside the classroom".
Sharise Alonto

"I feel that theory and practice have to go hand in hand in order for TCs to apply the lessons they learn in their courses at OISE. The practicum offers teacher candidates an opportunity to receive mentoring, guidance and feedback from experienced teachers who are genuinely invested in helping student teachers build the knowledge and practical skills they'll need to help their future students succeed in life".
Dayle Alfred Grant

"In practicum, Teacher Candidates learn a great deal of valuable knowledge from the Associate Teachers and from the students! It is an opportunity to practice lesson planning, instructional strategies, and classroom management skills - all for the purpose of actively engaging students. Practicum also gives you an idea of the workload that you may expect in your first few years of teaching".

"Practicum gave me the opportunity to teach in a classroom setting and to receive constructive criticism. This enabled me to focus on becoming a well-rounded Teacher Candidate".
