Regional Placement Information

How can Field Experiences Support Regional Pre-service Teachers?

A placement is considered regional if the school is located more than 40km from Edmonton.
The deadline for registering in a regional placement is May 10th (Fall Term) and Nov. 1st (Winter Term).
Students choosing a regional placement, must accept that, due to distance from Edmonton, neither field experience associates nor university facilitators will be able to visit them at their school sites.
Pre-service teachers in regional placements receive supports from a field experience associate and/or a university facilitator by telephone, email, and/or video call platforms.
