Field Experiences

Note: All teacher candidates must complete a criminal record check before they can participate in any field experience.

Student Teaching (Non-credit)

Student Teaching is an exploratory, practical experience in a partner school. Teacher candidates will be expected to carry out course assignments in their assigned school, engage in volunteer in-school activities wherever possible, observe, teach small and large group activities under the guidance of cooperating teachers, faculty members, and field experience coordinators. Teacher candidates are placed with teachers holding a Saskatchewan Teaching Certificate in a school using provincial curricula and organized under the Education Act. Although Student Teaching is a non-credit course, it is a requirement in all Bachelor of Education Degree programs.

Teacher candidates in the Sequential Program

Teacher candidates will be assigned a partner school within commuting distance of Saskatoon, and will carry out assignments and activities at the school during Year 3 of their program.

Teacher candidates in the Concurrent Program

Year 2 Elementary/Middle Years and Secondary teacher candidates in the Concurrent Program must have successfully completed Year 1 and 2 Education courses to qualify for Year 2 Student Teaching

Year 3 Elementary/Middle Years and Secondary teacher candidates in the Concurrent Program must have successfully completed Years 2 and 3 Education courses to qualify for Year 3 Student Teaching

Extended Practicum (15 credit units)

The Extended Practicum (EXPR 402.15) involves one term of teaching experience, approximately 16 weeks in length. Teacher candidates may not register in any course that runs concurrently with the Extended Practicum.

Teacher candidates must be prepared to complete the Extended Practicum in a centre other than Saskatoon. Extended Practicum teacher candidates are placed with teachers holding a Saskatchewan Teaching Certificate in a school using the provincial curriculum and organized under the Education Act.

Before they may register for Extended Practicum, teacher candidates must have obtained a Cumulative Weighted Average of 60% both in their External and their Education courses. In addition, teacher candidates in the Secondary option must have a minimum average of 60% in each of Teaching Areas I and II.
