Here’s what happened in our last EDUC 310 class:
SCETS
Thanks for taking the time to give Shep and I your feedback.
Free Write on the Ideal Practicum
You took some time to consider how, if you were teaching in a perfect world, your long practicum would look.
Information for Parents of the Students You’ll be Teaching
We recommend sending home an introductory letter and a letter that gives you permission to take still photographs for use in your e-Folio. Proficient wordsmiths could probably combine both letters into one. Here are files the related files:
- 419 Parent Introduction Letter Template
- SAMPLE TC Parent Intro Letter – 2009
- e-Portfolio Photo Permission Letter
Practicum Calendars
There are a multitude of different calendars depending on the length of practicum you are doing and whether or not you are involved in EPBCO. I’ve divided them up below by FA:
Cheryl’s TC’s Calendars:
- CA NW 13-Week Practicum Calendar – 2010
- CA COQ 12-Week Practicum Calendar – 2010
- CA EPBCO Practicum Calendar – 2010
Lawrence’s TCs Calendars
Pre-Prac Letter and Responsibilities Chart
Finally, Cheryl and I shared our “Top 10 Tips for a Successful Practicum”. The tips were culled from these two documents -the “Expectations and Advice for The Long Practicum” letter and the “Suggested Practicum Responsibilities” chart. Here they are for each FA:
Cheryl’s TCs Documents:
- CA Practicum Expectations Letter
- CA Practicum Responsibilities Chart
- CA EPBCO Practicum Responsibilities Chart
Lawrence’s TCs Documents:
That about covers it.
Good luck on practicum.
