Applying for your Teaching Practicum

To ensure the integrity of evaluation, you are unable to arrange, under any circumstances, your own placements. To avoid the possibility of pre-existing bias and adhere to the principal of equity, we, as an institution, must arrange your placements. Note that placements are contractual agreements, as provided by our partnership school boards.

To apply for your practicum (Thunder Bay Campus P/J and I/S, Orillia Campus I/S), you will complete a Teacher Candidate Placement Preference Application Form. Details will be provided in the program to guide you in completing the application form by the due date. Note that only school boards that appear in our partnership list may be selected for your placements.

Information regarding the application process for an Alternative Teaching Placement or an International Teaching Placement will be provided in the program.
