Professional Programs Overview
The Faculty of Education, Lakehead University is dedicated to the preparation of teachers who are independent, competent, reflective professionals.
All Bachelor of Education programs at Lakehead University culminate in a Professional Year or Professional Program. The Professional courses, including EDUC 4499: Student Teaching in the Professional Year, 4398 and 4498, Student Teaching 1 and 2, are interrelated components of the program. Course work provides preparation for the placement and an opportunity to reflect on placement experiences. Teacher candidates are encouraged to use course assignments as preparation for student teaching whenever possible. Teacher candidates must have completed all required academic courses prior to entering the final student teaching placement of their program.
Candidates are responsible for meeting the Professional Year requirements for graduation and certification as outlined in the Lakehead University 2018-2019 Academic Calendar.
The Concurrent Legacy (4 & 5-Year) Program - Orillia Campus
The Concurrent Bachelor of Education Legacy Program is populated by students who began
their studies in January 2015 or earlier. The Bachelor of Arts & Science/Bachelor of Education
Professional Program leads, after four years of study, to teacher certification by the Ontario
College of Teachers (OCT) at the Primary-Junior level (JK - Grade 6). The Honours Bachelor of
Arts & Science/Bachelor of Education Professional Program leads, after five years of study, to a
similar teacher certification. This program will be phased out by the end of this 2018/2019
academic year. In their professional year, concurrent legacy students complete a common core
of subjects in teaching methods across subject disciplines and other core courses such as
Educational Law, Foundations and Issues in Education, Aboriginal Education, Educational
Psychology, Teaching Exceptional Students, and Planning & Evaluation, & Classroom
Management. In addition to courses, these students complete two 25-day teaching placements
in one of the many School Boards across Ontario that are affiliated with Lakehead University's
Faculty of Education.
The Concurrent (5 & 6-Year) Program - Orillia Campus
The Concurrent Bachelor of Education (Two-year post-undergraduate degree) is open to
applicants with a high school diploma who began their studies in September 2015 or later. The
Bachelor of Arts & Science/Bachelor of Education Professional Program leads, after five years
of study, to teacher certification by the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) at the Primary-Junior
level (JK - Grade 6). The Honours Bachelor of Arts & Science/Bachelor of Education
Professional Program leads, after six years of study, to a similar teacher certification. In the pre-
professional portion of their degree, students complete three required Education courses,
EDUC 1050 Introduction to Education, EDUC 2050 Introduction to Teaching, and 0.5 FCE in
Education electives. In their professional program, concurrent students complete a common
core of subjects in teaching methods across subject disciplines and other core courses such as
Democracy & Education, Aboriginal Education, Environmental Education, Professional Practice,
Social Difference in Education, Educational Psychology, and Planning & Evaluation, &
Classroom Management. In addition to courses, students will complete 105 days of teaching
placements over two academic years. First-year placements are completed in local boards, and
second-year placements may take place in one of the many School Boards across Ontario that
are affiliated with Lakehead University's Faculty of Education.
12
The Consecutive (2-Year) Professional Program - Orillia Campus
The Consecutive Bachelor of Education (Two-year post-undergraduate degree) is open to
applicants with academic backgrounds who have already completed an undergraduate degree.
The Bachelor of Education Professional Program leads, after two years of study, to teacher
certification by the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) at the Primary-Junior level (JK - Grade
6). The professional program course requirements and the practicum model are the same as
those for the Concurrent (2-Year) Program.

Professional Development in Education Workshops
In partnership with the Department of Professional Development in Education, the Orillia Education
department offers a variety of educator development workshops throughout the year on a wide range
of topics of interest and relevance to teachers and educators. These workshops have no pre-
requisites, and most of the workshops are available to students and the general public. Certificates of
completion are issued at the end of each workshop as recognition of a participant's learning, and a
mark (pass/fail) will appear on their non-credit transcript.
These planned workshops are of value to newly certified teachers in their job searches once they
have graduated, and traditionally include:
● Tribes ● Math Skills Development (Legacy Students Only) ● Coaching in Ontario Schools ● Perfecting A Solid Practicum
Workshop offerings vary from one academic session to another, so it is best to consult the Lakehead
website for details.

The above conversion chart is commonly used by secondary teachers in dealing with the four-step
Ontario "Achievement Chart: Grades 9-12." Under the Ministry of Education report card protocols
"Growing Success," the "I" stands for "insufficient," or "incomplete": not enough evidence has been
collected to assign a mark, or key assignments were not submitted.
The same chart can be used in Education courses at Lakehead University to convert levels to percentages for Marks Management. Since Marks Management cannot accommodate modal marks, Faculty of Education instructors should consider converting any "level" marks to percentages or score out of 10 for entering scores. On student papers and other assignments, instructors will find that reporting both a level and a percentage enhances the clarity of their assessment procedures for teacher candidates. NB: 0% is a final grade reserved for instances of academic dishonesty, e.g., plagiarism.

Primary/Junior Mathematics Content Exam (passing to 75% standard is mandatory)
Primary/Junior (PJ) candidates are required to demonstrate mathematics proficiency as part of the Mathematics methods course taken in the Professional Year or the Professional Program, Year 1. PJ candidates must pass, to a 75% level of competence, an examination set at the Ontario Gr. 6/7 level. Candidates who do not pass the initial sitting of the Mathematics Content examination in the Fall, may re-take the test in the following March. Candidates who do not pass the examination in either of the two sittings in the academic year (September and March), must register in EDUC 0450, which will allow them two additional supplemental sittings in September and March of the following year. If a candidate fails their third attempt in September of their second year, they will not be permitted to proceed to their November-December practicum. Achieving a 75% level of competence is a requirement for graduation.

INCOMPLETE STANDING (University Regulation, V Standing) http://csdc.lakeheadu.ca/Catalog/ViewCatalog.aspx?pageid=viewcatalog&catalogid=25&chapterid=7015&loaduseredits=True
(e) Incomplete Standing An incomplete grade may, at the discretion of the instructor and in consultation with the student, be assigned to a course when the instructor considers that for a valid reason the student has not yet completed all the requirements of the course. In such cases, when a percentage grade would normally be assigned to the course, the instructor must also assign a grade for work completed to that point, expressed as a portion of the entire course mark. Courses graded on a Pass/Fail basis will be assigned an INC. Incomplete grades will not be included in the calculation of the student's average.
(f) The instructor is obliged to set the due date for the additional work in order to permit submission of the revised grade to the Registrar's Office by the dates listed below:
Undergraduate Courses Graduate Courses
Fall term grades March 1st June 1st (or May 1st if student plans to convocate in Spring)
Winter/Full year July 1st September 1st
16
Spring September 1st N/A
Summer November 1st January 1st (or October 1st if student plans to convocate in Fall)
To clear an incomplete grade the student must complete the outstanding work and a Change of Grade form from the instructor must be received in the Registrar's Office by the appropriate above date. Grades that are not cleared by the appropriate above date will be converted to the numeric grade assigned and at that point will be included in the student's average. Pass/Fail courses with an INC will be converted to F.

Expectations The ability to learn, understand, and retain knowledge has been demonstrated through the undergraduate degree required for entry into the Professional Year/Program. The focus of the Professional Year/Program is on building understanding of the issues and complexities of the teaching and learning process, and on gaining the skills necessary for becoming a successful teacher. To that end:
1. Attendance is an expectation. This is an integrated program of foundational and methodological studies enhanced through periods of intense practical application, and requires full-time attendance. Students are expected to maintain a professional, responsible approach to both classes and student teaching placements. Failure to meet course attendance requirements, as outlined in the syllabus, may result in a failed grade. Students who fail a course may not proceed to the practicum. Failure in more than one course due to poor attendance will result in a failed year.
2. Requirements on the course outline will be used for assessment. The course outline and
assessment rubric make expectations and deadlines explicit. Late assignments are accepted only under rare, documentable circumstances. Students cannot redo assignments, rewrite exams, or make additional submissions to boost a mark once a summative assessment has taken place.
3. Assessment is a reflection of academic rigour. Only in instances where there is unusual
disparity among marks or abnormal inconsistency in outcomes will an instructor re-examine a final assessment.

Expectations The ability to learn, understand, and retain knowledge has been demonstrated through the undergraduate degree required for entry into the Professional Year/Program. The focus of the Professional Year/Program is on building understanding of the issues and complexities of the teaching and learning process, and on gaining the skills necessary for becoming a successful teacher. To that end:
1. Attendance is an expectation. This is an integrated program of foundational and methodological studies enhanced through periods of intense practical application, and requires full-time attendance. Students are expected to maintain a professional, responsible approach to both classes and student teaching placements. Failure to meet course attendance requirements, as outlined in the syllabus, may result in a failed grade. Students who fail a course may not proceed to the practicum. Failure in more than one course due to poor attendance will result in a failed year.
2. Requirements on the course outline will be used for assessment. The course outline and
assessment rubric make expectations and deadlines explicit. Late assignments are accepted only under rare, documentable circumstances. Students cannot redo assignments, rewrite exams, or make additional submissions to boost a mark once a summative assessment has taken place.
3. Assessment is a reflection of academic rigour. Only in instances where there is unusual
disparity among marks or abnormal inconsistency in outcomes will an instructor re-examine a final assessment.

Practice on Recording Student Presentations
The Faculty of Education has mandated the following “Guidelines for Recording of Student Presentations” in Education courses: Faculty of Education courses come with expectations laid out in course outlines; if teacher candidates wish to take and pass courses, they must meet the stated expectations, including those which make provision for legitimate use of recorded presentations, regardless of the medium. The Faculty of Education policy allows for the recording of candidate presentations if certain guidelines (placed in the relevant course outlines) are adhered to by instructors:
1) The recording should serve a pedagogical purpose, such as providing feedback to candidates regarding their work, facilitating self- or peer-evaluation, or enabling the instructor to provide a more accurate evaluation of a candidate’s presentation.
2) The exact use of the tape or other medium should be made clear to the candidates, and nobody outside the class should be able to view the recording without the candidate’s consent.
3) If the recording is to be "published" or made use of for research in any way – i.e., used as part of a research project or as an exemplar for future classes-then candidates’ permission should be solicited via a consent form of the type normally used in research studies. If the recording is to be used as part of a class research project, the Faculty of Education’s own Ethical Review Board Procedures must be followed; all other research must conform to Lakehead University Ethical Review Board Guidelines.
4) In all cases the secure storage of the material should be guaranteed, and the date of disposal indicated. 21 January 2005
Cellular Telephone Use Advisement Professional Courtesy and the Use of Cell Phones As more and more school districts establish rules governing the use of cellular (mobile) phones in schools during hours of instruction, the Faculty of Education cautions candidates, particularly those in Professional Program, that the use of a cell phone in class for personal communications (whether checking voice-mail, reading or sending text-messages, or making conventional telephone calls) is professionally unacceptable in the context of a class or while a formal presentation is in progress. Moreover, since the use of digital image capturing devices in cameras, cell phones, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) has the potential to be used in a manner that violates the privacy of instructors and students, the Faculty of Education requests that such devices be used only with prior permission of the person(s) to be photographed. The Faculty has a secondary concern, namely, that cellular technology can be used to transmit test questions in advance if a student has been granted permission to write early, and to acquire answers to questions while a test or exam is in progress. Personal electronic devices have the potential to be used for academic dishonesty: OCT Professional Advisory on the Use of Electronic Communications and Social Media. Accordingly, the Faculty of Education requires that students power off * or mute their cell phones during classes, presentations, tests, and exams, and that, while on practicum, teacher candidates not use them in any way that contravenes the school’s or board’s protocols. Most Canadian schools require that cell phones not be used during hours of instruction. The use of digital image capturing devices in cameras, cell phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) has the potential to be used in a manner that violates the privacy and dignity of others and may not be used without express awareness and formal consent of the individuals being recorded.

Printing Dollars
Since implementing our card-based copy and print system in May of 2012, we have successfully reduced our overall printing demand by half, resulting in a lower environmental footprint as well as significant cost savings to our department.
All copy/print credit allocations are limited to a maximum of $300 per year for full-time employees. At the beginning of each fiscal year (May 1st) this amount is reset to $300.
All copy/print credit allocations are limited to a maximum of $50 per year for contract lecturers. At the beginning of each fiscal year (May 1st) this amount is reset to $50.
Requests for allocations above these levels require a written request to the Chair of Orillia Education for approval, citing the rationale for the request. Individual users should monitor their allocation balances and notify the Chair should their balance fall below 10% of the total. Please note that all requests for a change to a person's allocation may take up to 5 business days to complete from the day a ticket is submitted. We can also further reduce our copy and print expenditures by adopting scan-to-email (a free service), and routing large copy or print jobs to Georgian Bay Printers.
Any large copy or print jobs should be re-directed to Georgian Bay Printers, with a 5 – 7 business day lead-time. All instructors have been allocated a credit for printing in the amount of $10/0.25 FCEs, which should be cited along with the full course code and document title(s) each time an order is placed. Again, any requests for changes in allocation will take at least 5 business days to complete.
Informed consent, health and safety, accident report and emergency contact forms should be submitted to the Education Office for printing with a lead-time of at least 5 business days.

Room/Class Time Changes
From time to time the Education Office receives requests from instructors and cohorts to change times and rooms of classes on an ad-hoc basis, for accommodation of planned events, guest speakers or one-time moves. While we would like to approve every request, unfortunately the allocation of rooms and the timing of classes are part of a complicated web of activities in our building, and one change cannot help but impact another, often unintentionally, but negatively. With that in mind, we will adhere to the following protocol in making decisions about room or class time changes. If you wish to change the time and/or of a class, submit a request in writing to the Chair, along with the signature of every member of the class indicating their agreement to the change. The request must be unanimous, or it will not be considered.
CRITERIA FOR CHANGES
● Enrolment increases beyond the capacity of the classroom assigned and a larger classroom is needed; the assigned classroom does not have all or some of the room facilities (technical or other) requested and a classroom;
● The number of students enrolled in a course can be accommodated in a smaller classroom, allowing another course with more students to use the larger classroom;
● The potential impact on program delivery or impacts the ability of a student to complete his/her degree program;
● The need to accommodate Health & Safety Issues (including disability) of an instructor or a student; or
● In cases of emergencies (evacuations causing disruption to normal services). All requests must be made in writing first to the Chair ([email protected]), and kindly copy Julie Howell ([email protected]), and Rosa Fabiano ([email protected]). Requests should contain the following information:
1. Name of requestor, contact info (email extension) 2. Course 3. Student Capacity 4. Date/time/room location of the course as currently scheduled 5. Detailed rationale for the change based on the criteria listed above 6. Detailed class roster, and signature of every member of the class indicating their agreement to the
change
Booking Rooms at Heritage Place
If you would like to book a room/space for a particular occasion, such as break-out space, please send an email to Rosa Fabiano ([email protected]). Emails must include the requested booking date, time, room number and reason for request. All room booking requests must be submitted with advance notice of at least 4 business days. Due to space restrictions, we cannot guarantee your request will be approved. Approved requests will be confirmed via email.
29
Ordering Ministry Curriculum Documents
If you would like to place an order for Ministry Curriculum documents for your students to keep, please send your request via email to Rosa Fabiano ([email protected]), by the 1st Friday in August. A class set of all curriculum documents (approx. 40 copies) will be retained in OH18 for in-class use, and must be returned after each use. Ministry orders are submitted only once each year, so please ensure that you have requested all documents required for the full academic year. Please Note: We will do our best to fulfill your requested document order, however, that will be dependent upon document availability from the Ministry.
Courier Services from HP to Simcoe Hall and Thunder Bay Campuses
In an effort to reduce shipping costs, we will only initiate a request for delivery to either campus once we have enough mail to substantiate a pick-up. If your delivery is time-sensitive, please advise the Administrative Assistant. Although we will do our best to get your mail shipped in a timely fashion, we cannot guarantee the arrival date. To ensure submission deadlines are met, we recommend submitting your mail to the Education Office at least 2 weeks in advance. Please Note: Only mail associated with the Faculty of Education will be accepted and shipped. Personal mailing requests will be rejected.
Guests at Heritage Place
If you intend to invite a guest to your class and require a guest parking pass, please send your request, with advance notice of at least 4 business days, to Rosa Fabiano ([email protected]). Be sure to include your guest’s name, and the date of their visit. Once the pass is prepared, you will then receive a confirmation email containing the pass and parking instructions, to forward to your guest. If your guest requires WIFI access during their visit, please indicate that when you are requesting the parking pass, as the WIFI login credentials are generated by TSC, and it cannot be done on the same day of the event. The login information will be included in the confirmation email. Please Note: At this time, we do not have any Lakehead University gifts to present to guest speakers. We do have Lakehead University branded thank you cards, which are available in the Education Office. Please see Julie Howell or Rosa Fabiano.

Additional Faculty Information
Classroom Supplies Please advise the Education Office when supplies are low, to ensure enough time
before the next class to replenish the stock. We want to avoid leaving the next Instructor without any supplies
Mail Folders
Please check your mail folder frequently Mail folders are located in the top drawer of the filing cabinet in the Education
Office, behind the Administrative Assistant’s desk Student Work
The Education Office does not accept student work Please do not advise Students to submit their work to the Education Office, and/or
request to have their work put in your mail folder
Honorarium for Elders
Elder Visit request forms (see below) are asked to be submitted at set deadlines for each term. Those deadlines are:
● 3rd Friday in August for planned visits in the Fall term ● 1st Friday in December for planned visits in the Winter term
A separate form must be submitted for each proposed Elder Visit to each section of any Education course. The request will be reviewed by the Chair and the approval decision will be communicated to the instructor who submitted the request. Cash Honorarium We require the following information from the Elder to issue a cash honorarium, and a voucher to be completed and submitted:
● Name ● DOB or SIN ● Current Address
Please Note: Revenue Canada and the university auditors require the above specific information to process a cash payment transaction. Once the voucher is submitted, we will release the funds from petty cash to the Instructor for distribution to the Elder. However, please note that due to demand and limited availability of petty cash funds in any calendar month, approved Elder Visit honoraria may need to be paid by course instructor at the time of the visit, and reimbursed at a later date via direct deposit to instructor’s established payroll bank account. Gift Certificate Honorarium If the Elder does not wish to provide their DOB or SIN, the second option is to purchase a gift card. In this instance, the Instructor is responsible for purchasing the gift card and submitting the receipt (not greater than $75.00) and event details to the Education Office. Julie or Rosa will then complete a cheque requisition for reimbursement to the Instructor. We require the following information from the Elder to process the cheque requisition:
31
● Name ● Current Address
Please Note: The gift card must be a purchase that is ACADEMIC or FOR LIVING in nature - not LCBO or any other ENTERTAINMENT type purchase.
Regardless of the method of honorarium payment to the Elder, the information required remains constant. This includes the following:
● Receipt for any gift card purchase ● Name and current address of Elder ● Date of classroom visit ● Title and course code/section of the class ● Instructor’s name

Field Trip Information
As you prepare your course outlines, you may be considering including field trips in your courses. If this is the case, you are required to prepare a record of such events so that the Education Office can document them for liability purposes. The goal is to be proactive and ensure that our students and faculty are provided with every protection possible when they are engaged in learning opportunities off campus. Lakehead’s Director of the Office of Risk Management, Millo Shaw, has provided the following checklist:
Basic Risk Management for Field Trips
The following list is not exhaustive, but presents the minimum steps that should be taken in preparation
for field trips. For more detailed information please contact the Office of Risk Management:
(1) An Activity Coordinator (“AC”) must be put in charge of the field trip, from start to finish, to ensure: a) That the objectives of the field trip are met; b) Adherence by all participants to basic rules of safety; c) Adherence by all participants to the rules of the field trip venue; d) That all participants can be accounted for throughout the field trip; e) Provision of assistance and/or contact of emergency services in the event of an accident.
(2) The event should be kept alcohol-free - or the University’s insurance coverage will be jeopardized in the event of an accident.
(3) If an activity with significant risk is involved (e.g. canoeing) participants should first complete an informed consent, waiver or liability disclaimer (check with the Office of Risk Management).
(4) In activities with significant risks participants must use/wear appropriate safety equipment (e.g. life jackets).
(5) Someone with CPR/First Aid certification must be present for all physical activities with significant risk.
(6) The AC must know how to contact emergency services immediately in the event of an accident, illness or other serious mishap.
(7) Emergency contact information of all participants should be confirmed before the field trip.
(8) Participants should travel to the field trip venue either in their own vehicles or by commercial transportation with professional drivers. Participants should be advised beforehand in writing that the University discourages car-pooling and that drivers in their own vehicles and their passengers travel at their own risk.
(9) If common transportation is used, there should be a plan in place, of which participants are informed, for responding to absences of participants at departure times.
(10) Lakehead Security should be informed about all trips off campus.

The form any Education Instructor should use will depend on whether or not the field trip is obligatory and
on the level of risk. Forms are found below in Appendices. Low risk day-trips really require nothing
more than simple disclaimers. Longer, more detailed forms are more appropriate for more extensive trips
farther afield with significant risks.
1. For trips requiring only voluntary participation, waivers should be used. (See the "Field Trip
Waiver Template," Appendix C )
2. Participants in field trips that are compulsory for course credit, however, should have to read
and sign only informed consents. (See the "Field Trip Student Informed Consent Form,"
Appendix B)
3. If the field trip requires the students to use their own vehicles, public transportation, or walking,
you will require formal, written authorization from the site to hold your class there, and formal,
written authorization from the Chair acknowledging the change of venue. Please submit the
request to the Chair using the “Faculty of Education Field Trip Protocol,” Appendix A. In this
instance, no waiver is required. This completed form and the authorization from the site will be
filed in the Education Office.
4. If the field trip requires the hiring of transportation or an overnight stay, please use the "Field Trip
Student Informed Consent Form," Appendix B, and submit it to the Chair for consideration..
If the risks aren't accurately described the forms will have little value in law. Therefore, the Faculty advises running the proposed activities by Millo Shaw ([email protected]), so that he can make any necessary adjustments.
