Apply for the Emily Longworth Memorial Award

Leave a reply

TEO hands out a large number of awards to TCs.  Many of them are based on nominations by faculty but the Emily Longworth Memorial Award winner is chosen from the list of TC’s who apply before 30 January 2012.  Applications can be made through the TEO.

Here are the details:

“This award is available to Elementary (and Middle Years) Teacher Candidates and provides funds for teacher candidates to undertake a special learning opportunity for the children with whom the TC will work in the extended practicum. There is a preference for projects that provide opportunities for children/schools that are less advantaged and who might not otherwise have access to enrichment activities. These funds are not intended for the purchase of major pieces of equipment or for TC activities not involving the kids in the class. Teacher and Principal agreement is necessary.”

Please see TEO for details.

For information on all the awards handed out each year, please see the B.Ed Awards List.

Emily Longworth Award: Funding For Special Projects on Practicum

Leave a reply

Here’s another practicum-related opportunity you may be keen to pursue.  Please read the message below from Elementary / Middle Years Practicum Coordinator, Bob Shoofey, for information on how you can win the Emily Longworth Award and access funds to facilitate a special project in your practicum classroom:

“In honour of the memory of Emily Longworth, a teacher candidate who was an inspiration and role model to fellow students, these awards are offered to those whose practica involve curricula or extra–curricular activities promoting multicultural understanding, healthy lifestyle, environmental awareness, and achieving full life potential. Candidates annually apply by January 30 through the Teacher Education Office.

This is a wonderful opportunity for TCs to apply for funding to undertake special learning projects with their class. This funding is intended to benefit children in schools where they are less likely to have access to enrichment projects. Projects could be in the fine arts, environmental studies, social justice, etc and resources should be targeted on the children’s learning experiences rather than on equipment.

Interested TCs should discuss a potential project with their SA and then see Gary Rupert in TEO as soon as the 2-week practicum is complete.”
