Consecutive Program Practicum - Full-time Teacher candidates in the Consecutive Program typically have two practicum placements in the primary/junior and junior/intermediate divisions and three at the intermediate/senior division. Candidates spend the opening week of school in their placement as a means of orientation to teaching and to the mentor classroom. Depending on the program, candidates spend one or two days a week in the classroom, or alternating weeks in and out of the classroom. The first placement extends from September through to mid-December and the second from January through to the end of May in the primary/junior and junior/intermediate divisions. In addition, all teacher candidates have two three to four week blocks of intensive practicum experience during the year culminating in a final four week block in May. Intermediate/senior candidates also have a two to three week observation block in an elementary school in the winter term. Every attempt is made to familiarize candidates with different boards in the area, pupils of different age levels, a range of school offerings, and a variety of social groups of pupils. (For further details on the Consecutive Program practicum, please see the Faculty of Education Web site at http://www.edu.yorku.ca.) Consecutive Program Practicum - Part-time (2 or 3 year Program) The first year field placement explores schools and their communities. Candidates spend 50 hours in this field placement during their first year in the program. Candidates in the two year program have a four week school placement at the end of the first year. The second and third year (if applicable) practica occur in schools and classrooms. This long-term association with a school's program allows the candidate to observe the development of the curriculum and pupils over the course of the school year and to acquire an understanding of the school and its community. Over the two- or three- year period of the program, every attempt is made to familiarize candidates with different boards in the area, pupils of different age levels, a range of school offerings, and a variety of social groups of pupils.
