PRACTICUM INFORMATION
Please read carefully. Refer to this information when you are filling out the Practicum Registration Form included in this package. Please return this signed sheet along with your Practicum Registration Information. 1. Due to the large number of students in the Bachelor of Education program and the fact that we work with 52
school boards, it is not possible to accommodate special considerations of individual students. We are sorry that we are unable to make special arrangements for parents of young children, for students working part-time jobs, etc. Hopefully this early notification will assist you in making appropriate arrangements.
2. Candidates will complete all practice teaching weeks with one school board. 3. Some school boards need to know which students graduated from their system as well as their permanent
address. It would be helpful if you would provide this information on the enclosed form. 4. There are a limited number of associate teachers in all areas. While we will try to honour the choices of
candidates, student teachers must leave the decision and any negotiation strictly to the Practice Teaching Office and the School Board.
5. Student teaching is expensive and you are responsible for making your own arrangements regarding
transportation and living accommodations. You should take into consideration that travel time is necessary and you can expect that a long commute (an hour or more) to your placement is not unreasonable. In some cases, you may be required to travel to a placement that is not accessible by public transportation. In these cases, you will be required to make your own arrangements regarding transportation.
6. The Practicum Registration Forms, completed by candidates as part of the pre-registration procedures, serves
only as a guideline for allocation. Candidates MUST NOT undertake negotiations with a school board, individual schools, or teachers to arrange placements. In addition, the candidate cannot make demands of the Practice Teaching Office with respect to a specific placement by requesting a particular school, teacher or grade/subject.
Signing this consent form indicates that you have agreed to the above conditions. Changes to practice teaching placements will not be made during the year.
