The course offers teacher candidates the opportunity to engage in a formal field experience paired with collaborating teachers in Saskatchewan schools that meet SPTRB beginning teacher competencies for teacher certification. The field experience is also intended to build relationships and networks of support for teacher candidates who are interested in working in Saskatchewan schools. The 10-week extended practicum is a period of intensive field study experience where teacher candidates are expected to develop and demonstrate program outcomes in the categories of professional, knowledge, instructional and curricular competency. Teacher candidates will work with one or more collaborating teachers overseen by a college facilitator. Teacher candidates will function as professionals-in-training, engaging with students and their families, and working alongside colleagues on a regular and in-depth basis, team-teaching, planning units, lessons and other school-based programs, and progressing toward a full teaching load within their school context. Assessment for the extended practicum will address Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board (SPTRB) teacher competency goals within the framework of the Professional Growth Portfolio (PGP).
