Junior Year: Stage 3 Practicum 

At this stage, you will need to be formally admitted to the School of Education. During this stage you complete your first formal field placement experience called Practicum. Practicum takes place alongside your 300 level classes. One day a week you are placed in a school with a certified teacher (cooperating teacher) where you will  write lessons, teach a whole group and small groups of students. You will be officially observed  by your cooperating teacher and once by a university supervisor (School of Education Faculty) where you are given feedback on your instructional delivery. You will not be in full control of a class but are encouraged to be involved as much as possible while at your placement.
