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 helps 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. The role of the Faculty Liaison 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 and on advice from teachers of on-campus courses in the Faculty of Education (curriculum, foundations, educational studies); associate teachers; peers; and appropriate educational literature.
