Required Course Resources
Queen’s University ATEP Summer Session 2014
Course resource information regarding the 2014 summer session will be posted in early spring 2014.
Teacher candidates are required to complete twelve weeks of practicum placement. This requirement must normally be completed in three components of four weeks each, over the two-year period and may be completed in the candidate's home region. Practicum placements are offered in First Nations schools and/or Provincial schools with a significant Aboriginal student population. The community-based practicum placements are arranged by the On Site Coordinators of each community site.
The following must be completed by all ATEP teacher candidates and reviewed by the main ATEP office prior to placement starting, for liability and insurance purposes:
- TB Test Form
- Education Placement Agreement Form
- Education Placement Agreement Form Template (how to complete the form)
- CPIC and Vulnerable Sector Screening Check
CPIC and Vulnerable Sector Screening Check
All teacher candidates enrolled in any Ontario Faculty of Education must have a police record check that includes a Vulnerable Sector Check, before they can enter into schools in Ontario for their practicum placement. Candidates without a current Vulnerable Sector Police Check will not be able to start their placement.
A Vulnerable Sector Police Check must be completed in the jurisdiction where you are currently living. The “current” address you use on the Police Check application must match the jurisdiction of the Police Department through which you are applying (i.e. if you applying through the Kingston Police Department, you must use your Kingston address, if you are applying through the Peterborough Police Department, you must use your Peterborough address). Candidates can use their residence address (if applicable) as their current address if necessary. Police departments do require proof of residency (e.g. lease agreement, utility bill, etc.) with your name on it in order to proceed with your Police Check.
Candidates obtaining a Police Check from the Toronto Police Department (Postal Code begins with ‘M’) must contact the Practicum Office to request a Consent to Disclosure form for that department. This form must be printed on legal sized paper to be accepted by the Toronto Police Dept. The Toronto Police Department has a 10-14 week wait list for Police Checks. You must use your Toronto address when obtaining a police check through the Toronto Police Department.
