The practicum provides Teacher Candidates the opportunity to observe good teaching, to experience the wide variety of expectations school professionals must meet and to apply their learning in a classroom. The practicum must be completed in an Ontario public or Catholic school and meet all Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) licensing requirements.

Practicum placements are arranged by the Teacher Education Office.

Length: Three teaching practice blocks, scheduled at the end of Term 1, Term 2, Term 3.
Practicum One: Six weeks in the fall, after term 1 courses are completed.
Practicum Two: Six weeks in the spring, after term 2 courses are completed.
Practicum Three: Six weeks in the fall.
Paid or unpaid: Candidates participating in a practicum placement are not eligible for payment; only the host/associate teacher receives a per diem of $8 per day.
Length:A minimum of 80 days, as per OCT. Our academic calendar exceeds the OCT minimum for practicum.
International Student Eligibility: Yes

The Alternate Field Experience (AFE) is an experiential learning opportunity that allows Teacher Candidates (TCs) to gain real-world experience in diverse educational settings, both domestically and internationally (i.e., non-profit organizations, tutoring agencies, private schools, post-secondary institutions, summer camps, and beyond). The AFE opportunity is distinctly different from the practicum placement, as it does not involve OCT classroom teaching. It complements the practicum component of the Teacher Education program by encouraging TCs to investigate education in its various forms and by enhancing soft skills, which allows TCs to develop networking abilities and sets them up for success in their future teaching careers.

Teacher candidates are responsible for securing their own AFEs. However, the Teacher Education Office also often brings exciting AFE opportunities to the students and posts them on the central placement database, InPlace.

Length: 210 AFE hours (equivalent to approximately seven weeks full time), divided between two distinctly different opportunities - one of 120 hours and the other one of 90 hours. These hours can be completed part time over the course of the AFE program or full time during a designated AFE block.
Eligibility: Teacher candidates are eligible to obtain AFE hours after successfully completing Term 1 of the BEd program. They need to be supervised by an AFE supervisor at their host site, who will guide them through the experience and will complete a Supervisor Report at the end.
AFE Block: There is no course work or classes during this time, so Teacher Candidates can work full time to complete their required AFE hours. For the 2024 Cohort, the designated AFE block is June 23, 2025 – August 15, 2025. For Year 2 Cohort, the two designated AFE blocks are: December 2-20, 2024 and March 31-April 25, 2025.
Paid or Unpaid: Either - depending on the AFE opportunity.
