Policy Regarding Practicum Placements

For the second term of the first year and the full second year, students spend one day per week at a practicum setting in a public school. In the third year, students spend two days per week at a practicum setting, often a paid opportunity. Students' experiences are of increasing diversity and involve increasing responsibilities.
