Se Won An
Where’s home (besides Scarfe and your practicum school)?: Seoul (South Korea), Fukuoka (Japan), and my third home, Vancouver!

Unforgettable moment from practicum?: I taught a few music lessons to another Gr 5 class over weekly visits. On the last day of weekly visits, I heard many “I like you” and “I enjoy music” from students! They made my day!
Cassandra Whelan
Where’s home (besides Scarfe and your practicum school)?: Sunshine Coast, Prince George, New Brunswick… Canada… Or the world. The world.
What Ed program are you in and why’s it the greatest?:Elementary – French Language and Global Studies! We play an above average number of games due to teaching FSL – Don’t you all wish you could laugh and play ALL class?!
Unforgettable moment from practicum?:During the weekly visits a different student asking me every week why I had a visitor because “well, you’re not really a visitor, Ms. Whelan!”
Andrea Lai
Where’s home (besides Scarfe and your practicum school)?: Home is Calgary, where the deer and the antelope play.
What Ed program are you in and why’s it the greatest?: Secondary – Business and English. Talk about a killer combo. This particular species of secondarius teacherus makes herself appealing through thoughtfully placed advertisements and a snazzy vocabulary.
Unforgettable moment from practicum?: Cheering on my students with the rest of their teammates in a tie-breaking badminton match against another school.
Lola Young
Where’s home (besides Scarfe and your practicum school)?: Vancity!
What Ed program are you in and why’s it the greatest?: Elementary – CITE (Community Inquiry Teacher Education). We have a super strong sense of community in our class, as you can tell by our title. Not to mention we’re a friendly, funny, and goodlooking cohort! 🙂
Unforgettable moment from practicum?: The kids’ stories. Their endless stories about everything and how they tell me so much of it.
Murtaza Velji
Where’s home (besides Scarfe and your practicum school)?: Calgary, Alberta
What Ed program are you in and why’s it the greatest?: Secondary – Chemistry and English. This combination in the program has a population of two, which makes it a rarity. Rarity = Greatness 😀
Unforgettable moment from practicum?: I got to show Pulp Fiction, Star Trek, Star Wars, Fresh Prince, and The Hunger Games as part of my lessons. As a TV/Movie buff, that made me feel accomplished.
Randy Chau
Where’s home (besides Scarfe and your practicum school)?: Vancouver…always have been and always will be. =D
What Ed program are you in and why’s it the greatest?: UBC IB Cohort and Social Studies! It’s the greatest because it just is.
Unforgettable moment from practicum?: Nothing…it was that bad that everything is forgettable.
Mark Morrison
Where’s home (besides Scarfe and your practicum school)?: Victoria, BC
What Ed program are you in and why’s it the greatest?: Secondary – Mandarin and Socials Studies. There are around 60 Socials folks, but only 4 Mandarin folks, and exclusivity totally equals greatness. To make things even better, I’m also the only Caucasian Mandarin speaker in the entire program 😉
Unforgettable moment from practicum?: Being told by my SAs and FA that I was born to teach in a classroom during the final meeting of my practicum.
