Gain classroom skills through fieldwork placements
Over the course of our program, you engage in fieldwork experiences through practicums and student teaching. Classroom training starts in semester one so that you can develop the skills and strategies to student teach in your final semester.
Background checks are required before you begin fieldwork or student teaching in a classroom. You will need a cooperating teacher in a regular school with a valid teaching license, with at least 3 years of experience, and they need to have been teaching in their current building for at least a year.
Concordia is happy to discuss fieldwork with you and help you find your placement.
