In Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 you will use the Bi-Weekly Progress form within the Candidate Field Experience Portfolio to reflect on the practicum placement experiences. This may also serve as an opportunity for you to reflect on the Self-Directed Learning Goal. Within the form, address teaching activities, successes and difficulties. This form will promote consistent communication between the cooperating teacher and university supervisor informing them on how they can mentor the you throughout the Practicum experience. Cooperating teachers are encouraged, though not required, to review and provide feedback on the reflections.
The journal entries are due to the university supervisor each Monday in weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. The university supervisor, and possibly the cooperating teacher, will provide feedback in weeks 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.
