The following advice was developed to help you have a successful practicum and pre-service experience.
- Do the most that you are capable of, not the least.
- Demonstrate your commitment to students and their learning by putting as much time and effort as necessary into preparing good, high-quality lessons.
- Always ensure that you arrive at school early enough to attend to any last-minute preparations that may arise.
- Respect student confidentiality and only discuss the performance of students in your classes with other appropriate professionals.
- Dress appropriately.
- Don't try to be "one of the kids" or befriend your students — you are the teacher, so act like it!
- If you are having difficulties with your Associate Teacher and cannot resolve them through professional discussions with him or her, speak directly and privately to your Faculty Advisor or to the Director of Practicum Services.
- Take notes
- Keep copies of student work, your planning, and your assessments.
