EDUC 492 — Integration of Knowledge and Practice: Certifying Practicum

The certifying practicum is designed to scaffold and immerse you into the full spectrum of teaching responsibilities in your professional role as a classroom teacher. Please note that further details are available in the BEd Handbook 2020-2021‌. There are several orientations available for you, your teacher mentor or faculty mentor, to ensure that everyone has sufficient information and all questions are answered.

 

Additional field experiences

As part of a professional program, you are expected to participate in field trips to local schools, community education centres, and cultural education centres within Metro Vancouver. The learning experiences are integral to the courses within the Bachelor of Education and the program as a whole. Field trips will involve travel by motor vehicle to and from UFV and may involve a certain degree of risk.
