Teacher Candidates complete the fifth practicum at a Laurier Partner School in Year Two. Practicum five is a ten-week placement designed to support Teacher Candidates as they transition from student-teacher to practicing professional through extensive and varied teaching opportunities and other school-based experiences. Under the supervision of an Associate Teacher, Teacher Candidates spend six weeks in the same classroom and assume responsibility for teaching 100% of the Associate Teacher’s instructional time during four consecutive weeks. The additional four of the ten practicum weeks are dedicated to broadening Teacher Candidates’ teaching experiences as determined on an individual basis.
