About Year Four
Practicum II is a semester-long practicum with concurrent course integration. Fourth year teacher candidates (TC) enroll in this practicum in the winter semester. This practicum focuses on professional responsibilities, planning for learning, facilitating learning, assessment, and the classroom environment. TCs are required to participate in a weekly seminar. TCs are expected to be directly involved in all aspects of teaching, progressing from 50% and achieving 100% for at least five weeks of the practicum.

Important Considerations for Schools
Schools hoping to host Year 4 students need to be able to support a cohort of about 3-6 TCs.
What’s required from you?
With the support of the TC’s faculty supervisor, you will complete a midpoint and final evaluation. You will also provide regular verbal feedback and written feedback on at least one lesson per day.
Being a mentor teacher is a wonderful opportunity for you to develop as a teacher leader and to contribute to the next generation of teachers. You’ll also receive a small honorarium.
