  • Alternative and International Practicum Models in Teacher Education

    Principal Investigator(s): Nipissing University (Lead Researcher(s): Maria Cantalini-Williams)
    In the Laurier and Nipissing concurrent education program, innovative practices are being implemented which are directly related to the practicum component and involve collaborative and reciprocal learning opportunities for teacher candidates (student teachers) in a variety of settings. The practices are mentorship pairings between novices (first year) and mentor (upper year) teacher candidates and alternative ‘service learning’ placements in community agencies and international school settings. This project will assess these innovative practices to determine their effectiveness in promoting the professional growth of teacher candidates. The factors affecting the experiences of teacher candidates will be examined and recommendations for further implementation will result from the research findings.
