You will begin thinking about your first assignment, the Professional Reading Paper, before you arrive in September: it is due on Sept 21. During the fall and winter, you will also be working to develop a Statement of your Beliefs about teaching and learning.
You will also complete another assignment, due in January or later, that will involve Action Research related to an interesting question or issue that arises in your practicum.
An ongoing part of your B Ed year involves developing and enacting a Self-directed Learning plan. This work and thinking extends throughout the entire B.Ed./Dip.Ed. year, and culminates in your Exit Conference.
The course assignments are part of your ongoing professional learning, as required by the Ontario College of Teachers and described in their document The Foundations of Professional Practice.
