Student Teachers听are responsible for reading, understanding, and abiding by all the听policies and rules pertaining to Student Teaching.

Field Supervisors and Co-operating Teachers should also be familiar with the policies and rules, to ensure that placements are being carried out properly.

Policy application and liability may be different for MATL students on contract; please confirm with your Placement Coordinator if you are unsure.

听

Policies concerning Placements

• Under no circumstances are students to approach schools or teachers to make their own arrangements. This is prohibited by agreements between universities and school boards.

• Students will not be placed in schools where they have relatives (members of the administration, teaching staff, student body and support staff).
• Field Experience and听Internship placements are made through the Internships and Student Affairs Office and student teachers are expected to conduct their Field Experience or Internship in the school designated by the ISA.
• It is the responsibility of each student teacher to register for their EDFE or EDIN course on Minerva and then submit their online Placement Form.
• Field Experience/Internship credits from other Universities are non-transferable to a 成人VR视频 teacher certification program. All Field Experience/Internship courses must be completed at 成人VR视频 to count towards a B.Ed. or MATL degree.

For further information and policies regarding placement organization, please consult the Placement Process page.

Dress Requirements

While we appreciate that "dress codes" and regulations about听personal appearance can be inequitable and debatable, we must also work with the expectations and, at present, norms that are present in the field. While opinions of what is "appropriate" can vastly differ, the student teacher is expected to project a professional image, and conform with the established dress code of the assigned school. Students are encouraged to find/ask for the school's dress code in advance of their placement, to ensure they are adhering to it as of their first day. Students who do not conform with the school's dress code cannot be guaranteed a student teaching placement.

Need advice on how to dress?听

• Dress in a way that first and foremost makes you feel听comfortable and confident听- but that also meets or exceeds typical expectations for "professional" attire. A helpful tip: Dress as you would for a job interview.听(In a way, your placement is a long-term job interview.)
• Typical expectations around professional dress in schools are that teachers do听NOT听wear: jeans, leggings, sweatpants, ripped pants, shorts, short dresses/skirts, baseball caps, hoodies, tank tops, or clothing that exposes excess skin.
• Be safer than sorry听with the choices you make, and defer to being more听professional than typically required in your attire during your placement. Don't let your clothes be something that your Supervisor, CT, students/teachers/parents, or the school administration need to take note of (to you or to themselves).
• Use your professional judgement on whether to cover visible tattoos and piercings
• Do not necessarily go by what your CT wears/suggests, either, as you will be interacting with many members of the school community, and do not have the same job security and positioning in the school community as your CT.
• If you are unsure about what to wear, check:
  • Your host school's website to see if they have an official听dress code/policy.
  • Your host school's website or social media for听what teachers from that school might be wearing in posted photos.
  • With your Supervisor or听Placement Coordinator.
  • With trusted (and honest) members of your personal support network.
  • Pinterest and blogs, for ideas and inspiration.
• Phys. Ed. students: The easiest thing to do is wear your 成人VR视频-approved uniform! (white golf shirt with 成人VR视频 crest, black basketball shorts). Yoga pants/leggings worn alone are not appropriate.

听

Conduct and Confidentiality

Student teachers are bound by the Principles of Practice听(below), as well as the rules of their host school. Be sure to discuss these rules with your cooperating teacher or the school administrator.听

In addition to the Principles听developed by 成人VR视频's Faculty of Education, the Consultative Committee on Student Teaching for Greater Montreal created the听Guide to Professional Behaviour听with听practical examples of appropriate and inappropriate behaviours听for use by student teachers听and staff at all Quebec universities.

成人VR视频 student teachers should not post any photos or information about their students or host schools on Facebook, social media or other websites. This is a breach of confidentiality. Note that it is also not appropriate to add or fraternize with your students on social media.

听

Guidelines for Images and Video in Schools

It is essential that Student Teachers safe-guard the privacy of children/youth in school settings where their Field Experience and Internships take place. This policy is to make clear what is and is not permitted as regards the photographing of any images and video recording of children/youth you might work with in classrooms and other school settings - whether for use in your portfolio (electronic or paper), for a 成人VR视频 course, class project, assignment, or other related professional purpose.

You听ARE听permitted to:

1. Share the written work/products (i.e. drawings, etc.) of students whom you have taught during a Field Experience/Internship but must ensure the removal of any and all reference to the name of the student, or any other student(s) mentioned, school, cooperating teacher(s) and/or school administrator(s).听
2. Share photographs and videos that feature听ONLY听yourself teaching or leading a learning activity of any sort (i.e. classroom or non-formal learning activities).听

You are NOT permitted, no matter the policy of the school/school board where you undertake a field experience/internship, to:

1. Photograph or record in any manner, children and youth with whom you work during a field experience/internship - whether in classroom settings or any other context that involves the children and youth with whom you engage during a field experience/internship (e.g.听field trip, recess, play, performance, ceremony etc.). This policy applies to anything you might wish to post online even in a private and fully secured domain.
2. In videos or images when you might wish to record yourself teaching, images of children and youth you are teaching, or of cooperating teachers or fellow student teachers CANNOT be captured (even if software exists that can distort the image, etc.).

Exceptions to the above may exist for the purpose of facilitating remote supervision of a teaching activity. In this case, to protect the confidentiality of the young people with whom you will be teaching and to accommodate the need for remote field supervision, teacher candidates must use the provided听consent forms for the livestreaming or recording of any teaching episode for the purpose of assessment during their field experience.

Permission for research involving youth requires formal ethics approval from

Time Commitment

Placement Schedule & Amendment Requests

Placements have specifically prescribed start and end dates, and weekly schedules, which are based on a number of considerations and requirements. Students are asked to comply with this schedule and it is expected that they will start on the prescribed start date and end on the prescribed end date, barring needing to make up missed days due to illness, religious observations, etc.

In an effort to better support student teachers, ISA is prepared to receive requests for the schedule of a placement to be slightly amended 鈥� if a student presents a clear, compelling, and pertinent reason, such as:

• Responsibilities related to financial need
• Family care responsibilities
• Serious health concerns (not serviced by the Student Accessibility and Achievement Office*)

Requests for amendments due to personal travel plans or听course conflicts will not be considered.
Any request for amendment must be sent to your Placement Coordinator a minimum of 2 months before the placement start date, and should include:

• Your Name and Student ID
• The placement for which you are requesting an amendment
• Your reason (with supporting documentation, as possible)
• Your amendment request

Requests will be reviewed by the ISA Director on a case-by-case basis, and decisions will be based on, among other considerations, the amendment鈥檚 impact on the ISA Office, your host school, your Supervisor, and/or the placement timeline. Please allow 1-2 weeks鈥� time before a decision is rendered.

*Note: Guidelines for student teachers in the Faculty of Education requiring accommodations from the Student Accessibility and Achievement Office (SAA) for student teaching placements are available here.

听

FE1-specific policy amendment: Excused absences 鈥� and whether they need to be made up 鈥� will be reviewed by the ISA office on a case-by-case basis; confirmation of the make-up plan may be rendered closer to the end of the FE, when the full context and total amount of missed days are better known.

Attendance

• Student Teachers must attend school all day and be on time every day.
• Student Teachers must follow the schedule determined by the School Administrator at the start of their Internship.

Activities and Travel

• Student Teachers are strongly advised not to engage in activities (e.g. employment, courses) which could interfere with the time and energy required to prepare lessons and effectively teach during their placements. Course conflicts with a field placement will not be grounds for an excused absence from the field.
• DO NOT make plans to leave the city for 1 week (minimum) immediately after your placement - you may be required to make up days lost to illness or school closure, or to extend your placement in order to accommodate any required remaining evaluations.
• Student Teachers are expected to attend school all day and be on time every day of their placement.
• MATL and B.Ed. students are not permitted to participate in overnight field trips with their host school, without a thorough review of the context and circumstances by the ISA Office.
• An effort is made to place students within reasonable traveling distance (defined as up to 1.5 hours of travel time each way by the assigned method of transportation)听from their address as indicated on Minerva or within reasonable distance from the downtown 成人VR视频 campus (since students must also be able to travel to campus during this term). However, circumstances vary, and this travel time cannot be guaranteed and may be beyond the 1.5 hours. Students must budget time and money for travel to and from their assigned school. For example, you may choose to seek access to a car, or you may need to purchase a transit pass for a different region.

Concurrent Events

The following events may take place concurrently to a placement, and should be handled as follows:

听

Substitute Teaching / Tutoring

The following policy on substitute teaching and tutoring applies equally to B.Ed. and MATL students.

Substitute Teaching

Given the current needs of schools, The ISA is prepared to exceptionally authorize听成人VR视频 Teacher Candidates (also known as Student Teachers)听in FE3, FE4, IN1, and IN2 to substitute for their Cooperating Teacher in the event of their CT鈥檚 absence under specific conditions:

1. The 成人VR视频 Teacher Candidate consents to serving as a substitute teacher
2. The 成人VR视频 Teacher Candidate is serving as a substitute only for the Teacher Candidate's Cooperating Teacher(s)
   • EXCEPTION: The 成人VR视频 Teacher Candidate is only permitted to act as a substitute for another class/teacher听if they have no assigned/expected student teaching duties (e.g. teaching, observation, ECAs) during this period.听
3. The Cooperating Teacher(s) or the School Administration endorse the Teacher Candidate鈥檚 ability to serve as a substitute teacher via our online substitute teaching endorsement form.
   • By submitting this form, they confirm that they听have discussed and agreed upon the terms with the other member of the听host school.
4. The 成人VR视频 Teacher Candidate has received positive reports on assessments from the current field placement.
5. The ISA Office provides the Teacher Candidate's host school administration with an official substitution authorization letter, after receiving the Teacher Candidate's consent and the school's endorsement, and reviewing the Teacher Candidate's assessments to date.
   • AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON ISA AUTHORIZATION: A 成人VR视频 Teacher Candidate being given authorization to substitute by the ISA Office should NOT be considered as an implicit or explicit summative evaluation of the Teacher Candidate or their placement. Student Teachers who are authorized to substitute are still expected to complete their field placement as directed and continue to be subject to potential termination/failure听if ever deemed appropriate.听Substitute teaching cannot substitute for, give any credit for, or exempt the student from any requirements of a Field Experience/Internship. For any conflicts that may emerge as a result of substitute teaching duties, please note that the student will not be exempted from any responsibilities assigned as part of their Field Experience/Internship or associated course work, including but not limited to attendance, participation, assignments, projects etc., required in the completion of their degree.
6. The 成人VR视频 Teacher Candidate will be hired (via the school/board's HR) as an official employee (Substitute Teacher) of the school/board听for the period(s)听in which they substitute and will be remunerated for this time, as per the school/board's HR salary administration policy.
   • Student Teachers must ensure that they are听fully hired by the school/board's HR as an official employee (Substitute Teacher) BEFORE they complete any substitute teaching hours to ensure that they will be properly remunerated for their time.
     • If you arrive in the morning and your CT is unexpectedly absent, report to the school administration immediately to inform yourself of their听plan to replace your CT during their absence. Student Teachers should NOT be be used a as a last minute Substitute Teacher for their CT if they have NOT yet been officially hired as an employee (Substitute Teacher) by the school/board's HR.
   • AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON LIABILITY INSURANCE: When a Teacher Candidate serves as a substitute teacher, they are expected to be a paid employee of the school/board during this time, which means they will consequently NOT be covered by 成人VR视频's CNESST coverage for students performing internships. To be covered by the school/board's听CNESST liability insurance during any substitute teaching, the student and school/board must ensure that the student is officially employed as a substitute teacher and paid employment income by the school/board for this specific work period.
7. A period in which a 成人VR视频 Teacher Candidate听is serving as a substitute should not be used for any formal assessment听(e.g. Formative Assessment) by the Student Teacher's CT or Supervisor.
8. The 成人VR视频 Teacher Candidate can听serve as a substitute teacher for no more than five (5) days or 32 hours during their field placement.
9. The 成人VR视频 Teacher Candidate must self-report all periods/days that they served as a Substitute Teacher during their placement.听This self-reporting can be done via our online substitute teaching self-reporting form听following each substitution period.

听

• Under normal circumstances, student teachers are not permitted to substitute teach during their Field Experience/Internship.

• Student teachers completing FE4 or IN2 who are discovered to have done any substitute teaching will be in violation of this policy.

Tutoring

• Student teachers may tutor in the school where they are placed for their Field Experience/Internship, and they may receive remuneration for that tutoring, provided they are not tutoring any students that they interact with and teach during their placement.

  • In the case where a host school's policy conflicts with ISA's (i.e. a school does not permit student teachers to tutor), the host school's policy shall prevail.

CT Presence in the Classroom

Co-operating Teachers are mentors, coaches and models to their student teachers and must exercise good judgment as well as professional accountability听at all times. Relative to classroom presence, the professional expectation is that the Co-operating Teacher will always be within "easy reach" in the event that an emergency arises or the student teacher encounters a problem (the sole exception being MATL student teachers on contract in their own classroom).听

"Easy reach" means that the Co-operating Teacher should always remain within a reasonable distance from the classroom (e.g. teachers' lounge, library, office, etc.) and should not leave the school or its premises at any time while they or the听student teacher are "on duty."听

Furthermore, Co-operating Teachers should never听assign a colleague to conduct听their job of mentoring/supervising a student teacher without the express knowledge and agreement of the School Administrator.听听

Depending on the Field Experience/Internship, Student Teachers听may听(or may not) be left on their own in the classroom, per the guidelines below:听

• 1st听Field Experience (B.Ed):听The Student Teacher should听never听be left alone in the classroom, even for short periods of time
• 2nd Field Experience (B.Ed):听The Student Teacher should听rarely听be听left alone in the classroom and, even then, only for reasonable periods of time (i.e. not exceeding 20 minutes)
• 3rd Field Experience (B.Ed.)/1st Internship (MATL, unless on contract): The Student Teacher听may听be left alone in the classroom and/or to teach portions of or an entire class as the Field Experience/Internship progresses and based on the assessment of readiness by the Co-operating Teacher; however, they should never be left alone for an entire day or used as a substitute teacher听
• 4th Field Experience (B.Ed.)/2nd Internship (MATL, unless on contract): The Student Teacher听may听be left alone in the classroom and/or to teach portions of or an entire class; however, they should never be left alone for an entire day or used as a substitute teacher

听

Support Visits

Field Supervisors may register a request with the ISA (via your Placement Coordinator) to make an unannounced or extra support visit if you feel that it is warranted.

Support visits MUST be pre-registered and approved by the ISA!

Certainly, you do not want to be obtrusive in the school but you may take the necessary measures to ensure that the Student Teacher is performing adequately under a variety of conditions (i.e. when you are not present).

If you have questions about the appropriateness of a support visit, please contact your Placement Coordinator.

Problems & Procedures during Placement

• The Co-operating Teacher should inform the Field Supervisor if the Student Teacher shows professional shortcomings in any of the following, including but not limited to: pedagogical weakness; punctuality and reliability; responding well to feedback and suggestions; following established rules and routines; appropriate dress and grooming; working to develop good relationships with students/staff;.
• Prompt action is necessary. The first step will be to call a meeting with the Student Teacher, Co-operating Teacher and Field Supervisor, in order to discuss everyone鈥檚 concerns and determine a course of action.
• The Field Supervisor and Co-operating Teacher may use the 'Record of Early Concern' or 鈥楥ompetency Improvement Plan鈥� form to notify the ISA Office of a Student Teacher鈥檚 problems or a pedagogical and/or professional nature and the plan of remedial action.

When Challenges Arise...

• Refer to the ISA听website/e-Handbook for confirmation on rules, policies, etc.
• If it involves another person, communicate with the individual听and clarify the problem/issue/miscommunication
• If the issue is between a Student Teacher and CT,听and听you cannot resolve the issue directly, communicate with your Supervisor and ask for guidance about how to proceed
• If you cannot resolve the issue through these methods, communicate with your Placement Coordinator or, as required, other ISA staff

Constructive Communication

Whether resolving conflicts or providing feedback, the following principles should be kept in mind:

• The Student Teaching experience is first and foremost a learning space; approach any interaction听as an opportunity for learning
• Be timely, ideally sometime soon after your听observation/experience and when there is still time for resolution/change
• Focus on what you've observed/experienced听rather than what you may be assuming or inferring
• Describe specifically what you have observed/experienced
• Offer specific suggestions for improvement or change, but be prepared to be flexible and responsive to other ideas
• Give the other person an opportunity to respond, and listen actively to their response
• Summarize and express your support
• Above all, be professional and respectful
