Aim of Program :

This program is designed to develop supervision skills and understanding beyond the normal pattern of classroom teaching, and thereby extend the range of service of such qualified teachers to the professional community.

Specific Requirements :

Teachers enrolling in this qualification must:

1. have two years of teaching experience (one year is equivalent to 194 days of teaching)

2. obtain authorization from the principal of their school to accept practice teachers

3. be a member in good standing of the Ontario College of Teachers

4. agree to supervise two pre-service candidates as part of the course, without remuneration, during the fall and spring practica of the on-going year

5. agree to supervise two additional pre-service candidates, without remuneration, during the two years following successful completion of the course PDP 2420.

Candidates who do not comply with this requirement will be charged full tuition fees for the program.

Non-payment of fees precludes students from registering in future courses at the University of Ottawa.

If the Faculty is unable to find appropriate student teacher placements for the candidates during the program or in the two years following successful completion of the program, candidates will not be held responsible; therefore, they will not be required to pay tuition fees.

Registration in the associate teacher AQ is dependent on the teaching options offered in the teacher education program at the University of Ottawa. Placements are determined by the number of BEd candidates registered in the teaching options offered at the Faculty of Education and the associate teacher’s location.
