ED2 & ED3 Orientation - September 8
All ED2 and ED3 teacher candidates are required to attend a full-day orientation on Tuesday, September 8, 2009, starting at 9am on Keele campus. Teacher candidates for ED2 should meet in CSE building Lecture Hall A and teacher candidates for ED3 should meet in ACW 109. This day will consist of morning presentations made by representatives from the Qualifications Evaluation Council of Ontario (ED2s) and the Ontario College of Teachers (ED3s) along with the various teacher federations. The afternoon will be the first seminar meeting related to practicum placement. The Faculty of Education will enrol all TCs into the appropriate seminar once placements are finalized at the end of September. The seminar will occur on the same day as the practicum placement. Teacher candidates will be told their Seminar Leaders and which subsequent eight dates they will meet when they attend the orientation on September 8 at Keele.
Work/Education Agreement Form
All teacher candidates involved in an education practicum must complete a Work/Education Placement Agreement for every placement. This form must be completed by both parties (teacher candidates and host schools) before teacher candidates begin their practicum in order to ensure Workplace Safety and Insurance coverage. This will be discussed in the practicum seminar tutorials. The form to be completed in September can be found online at
