Concurrent Final Year and Consecutive Practicum (PJIS) | |
After an intensive orientation period at the Faculty of Education, Consecutive and final year Concurrent teacher candidates complete an extended teaching placement from October to December in selected associate schools. These schools are selected from a number of geographic areas including Kingston, Peterborough, Toronto, Waterloo and Ottawa. (Candidates should be aware that they may be assigned to associate schools outside their preferred area.) During the extended practicum, candidates work closely with associate teachers and faculty members, and have a two-week rotation at the Faculty of Education in November. The final practicum takes place in the Winter term during March/April. This practicum is normally at the same associate school as in the fall term. The practicum consists of thirteen weeks of in-school practice as well as a three-week alternate practicum. The alternate practicum should normally parallel the candidate's Program Focus course, or an Educational Studies course if a Program Focus course is not being taken. Back to Top |
