Faculty Liaisons
Course Instructors/Faculty Liaisons
Welcome to Prof 190/191.
We look forward to an exciting and challenging year of teaching and learning with the B.Ed./Dip.Ed. candidates in PROF 190/191 Theory and Professional Practice. Each section provides candidates with a "home base" and peer group, an anchor for their professional and personal learning. The course enables candidates to consolidate and critically examine their professional knowledge emerging from practicum experience, professional dialogue, and study of professional literature. The course directly addresses the Ontario College of Teachers' Foundations of Practice for the Teaching Profession and sets the stage for ongoing professional learning.
- Foundations of Practice for the Teaching Profession On this website, you will find detailed information from the Ontario College of Teachers about the Standards.
PROF 190/191 is paired with the Practicum. Your role is to integrate practicum supervision with classroom activities and reflections during the on-campus weeks in both terms. The course provides teacher candidates with tools and strategies to analyze, interpret, and modify their own teaching practices and understandings, relying on their own experiences; on information from instructors in the Faculty of Education (curriculum, foundations, educational studies); associate teachers; peers; their Faculty Liaison; and appropriate educational literature.
You are a crucial link between the Faculty and School Liaisons, Associate Teachers, Teacher Candidates, and the children and families of our Associate Schools. Many teacher candidates consider their practicum to be the most important part of their B.Ed./Dip.Ed. year; your role is vital in ensuring successful professional learning that links theory and practice.
The instructors in Prof 190/191 meet several times during the year, to share our thinking and to plan learning experiences for our candidates. Please keep in touch with us and let us know how we can support your work throughout the year.
