Candidates will learn how to implement the Ontario expectations, assess student learning, and understand how technology enhances the development of student knowledge. Candidates will learn how to develop lesson plans across the curriculum that will engage learners of diverse backgrounds and needs.

During the second semester of study, candidates will be required to complete two 9-day placements in the schools for field experiences. Failure to complete the two preservice practicum placements will result in the candidate receiving a failing grade for the course.
