3 Course Description

The Curriculum and Instruction in Social Studies and Indigenous Education course explores the shared

histories of Indigenous and settler relationships across Turtle Island and while recognizing the North

American divisions as colonial constructs will focus specifically on the Canadian context This course

provides a practical and conceptual introduction to the teaching of Social Studies within the context of

Indigenous (First Nations Meacutetis and Inuit) understandings as well as the multiple and diverse perspectives

of those living on this land This course consists of a series of weekly themes designed to emphasize the

expectations pedagogy and content integrating Social Studies and Indigenous Studies in the Primary

grades The course provides opportunities to develop practical understandings related to instructional

methods and skills through lesson planning evidence-based learning assessment strategies and the

incorporation of Indigenous and Western knowledges It seeks answers to questions of ident ity and

complex issues concerning community and nation past and present It looks to bring local histories and

traditional ecological knowledges to provide a template for understanding the complex interplay to

constructions of identity (personal local and national) and sovereignty

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

january-26-2012

From the University Assessment and Grading Practices Policy 122

Letter Grade Description

A+ 90 ‐ 100 Exceptional

A 85 ‐ 89 Excellent

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

FZ 0‐ 69 Does not meet expectations

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

online

wwwgoverningcouncilutorontocapoliciesbehaveachtm

The University of Toronto also has a website dedicated to Academic Integrity and associated UofT resources

wwwacademicintegrityutorontoca that includes 1) Definitions of Academic Offenses at

wwwacademicintegrityutorontocaperils-and-pitfalls 2) ldquoHow Not to Plagiarizerdquo at

httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourceshow-not-to-plagiarize and 3) ldquoStandard

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

University and the provision of access for individuals to their personal informationrdquo

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

of those living on this land This course consists of a series of weekly themes designed to emphasize the

expectations pedagogy and content integrating Social Studies and Indigenous Studies in the Primary

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourceshow-not-to-plagiarize and 3) ldquoStandard

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

University and the provision of access for individuals to their personal informationrdquo

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

Indigenous (First Nations Meacutetis and Inuit) understandings as well as the multiple and diverse perspectives

of those living on this land This course consists of a series of weekly themes designed to emphasize the

expectations pedagogy and content integrating Social Studies and Indigenous Studies in the Primary

grades The course provides opportunities to develop practical understandings related to instructional

methods and skills through lesson planning evidence-based learning assessment strategies and the

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourceshow-not-to-plagiarize and 3) ldquoStandard

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

University and the provision of access for individuals to their personal informationrdquo

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

january-26-2012

From the University Assessment and Grading Practices Policy 122

Graduate Studies uses a truncated refined letter grade scale (as follows)

Letter Grade Description

A+ 90 ‐ 100 Exceptional

A 85 ‐ 89 Excellent

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

FZ 0‐ 69 Does not meet expectations

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

online

wwwgoverningcouncilutorontocapoliciesbehaveachtm

The University of Toronto also has a website dedicated to Academic Integrity and associated UofT resources

wwwacademicintegrityutorontoca that includes 1) Definitions of Academic Offenses at

wwwacademicintegrityutorontocaperils-and-pitfalls 2) ldquoHow Not to Plagiarizerdquo at

httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourceshow-not-to-plagiarize and 3) ldquoStandard

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

University and the provision of access for individuals to their personal informationrdquo

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

A+ 90 ‐ 100 Exceptional

A 85 ‐ 89 Excellent

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

FZ 0‐ 69 Does not meet expectations

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

online

wwwgoverningcouncilutorontocapoliciesbehaveachtm

The University of Toronto also has a website dedicated to Academic Integrity and associated UofT resources

httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourceshow-not-to-plagiarize and 3) ldquoStandard

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

january-26-2012

From the University Assessment and Grading Practices Policy 122

Graduate Studies uses a truncated refined letter grade scale (as follows)

Letter Grade Description

A+ 90 ‐ 100 Exceptional

A 85 ‐ 89 Excellent

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

FZ 0‐ 69 Does not meet expectations

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

online

wwwgoverningcouncilutorontocapoliciesbehaveachtm

The University of Toronto also has a website dedicated to Academic Integrity and associated UofT resources

wwwacademicintegrityutorontoca that includes 1) Definitions of Academic Offenses at

wwwacademicintegrityutorontocaperils-and-pitfalls 2) ldquoHow Not to Plagiarizerdquo at

httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourceshow-not-to-plagiarize and 3) ldquoStandard

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

A+ 90 ‐ 100 Exceptional

A 85 ‐ 89 Excellent

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

FZ 0‐ 69 Does not meet expectations

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

online

wwwgoverningcouncilutorontocapoliciesbehaveachtm

httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourceshow-not-to-plagiarize and 3) ldquoStandard

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

january-26-2012

From the University Assessment and Grading Practices Policy 122

Letter Grade Description

A+ 90 ‐ 100 Exceptional

A 85 ‐ 89 Excellent

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

FZ 0‐ 69 Does not meet expectations

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

online

wwwgoverningcouncilutorontocapoliciesbehaveachtm

The University of Toronto also has a website dedicated to Academic Integrity and associated UofT resources

wwwacademicintegrityutorontoca that includes 1) Definitions of Academic Offenses at

wwwacademicintegrityutorontocaperils-and-pitfalls 2) ldquoHow Not to Plagiarizerdquo at

httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourceshow-not-to-plagiarize and 3) ldquoStandard

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

University and the provision of access for individuals to their personal informationrdquo

13 Coursework Extension

A coursework extension may be appropriate if academic (eg unexpected problems of research in a

course) or non-academic (eg illness) reasons make it impossible for you to complete course

requirements on time

You may apply for an extension by submitting the course extension form to your graduate unit prior to

the deadline for completion of course work

If you have been granted a course extension the graduate unit will assign the temporary non-grade

report SDF (Standing Deferred) until your final grade report is received During an approved coursework

extension you will continue to pay tuition fees according to your program status (ie full -time or part-

time domestic or international)

If you are unable to complete the required coursework during the extension period you may apply to

your graduate unit for a continuation of the extension Second coursework extensions must also be

considered by SGS Second coursework extension requests must be made before the expiry date of the

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

A 85 ‐ 89 Excellent

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

FZ 0‐ 69 Does not meet expectations

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

online

wwwgoverningcouncilutorontocapoliciesbehaveachtm

The University of Toronto also has a website dedicated to Academic Integrity and associated UofT resources

wwwacademicintegrityutorontoca that includes 1) Definitions of Academic Offenses at

wwwacademicintegrityutorontocaperils-and-pitfalls 2) ldquoHow Not to Plagiarizerdquo at

httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourceshow-not-to-plagiarize and 3) ldquoStandard

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

University and the provision of access for individuals to their personal informationrdquo

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

january-26-2012

From the University Assessment and Grading Practices Policy 122

Graduate Studies uses a truncated refined letter grade scale (as follows)

Letter Grade Description

A+ 90 ‐ 100 Exceptional

A 85 ‐ 89 Excellent

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

FZ 0‐ 69 Does not meet expectations

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

online

wwwgoverningcouncilutorontocapoliciesbehaveachtm

The University of Toronto also has a website dedicated to Academic Integrity and associated UofT resources

wwwacademicintegrityutorontoca that includes 1) Definitions of Academic Offenses at

wwwacademicintegrityutorontocaperils-and-pitfalls 2) ldquoHow Not to Plagiarizerdquo at

httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourceshow-not-to-plagiarize and 3) ldquoStandard

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

University and the provision of access for individuals to their personal informationrdquo

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

january-26-2012

From the University Assessment and Grading Practices Policy 122

Graduate Studies uses a truncated refined letter grade scale (as follows)

Letter Grade Description

A+ 90 ‐ 100 Exceptional

A 85 ‐ 89 Excellent

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

FZ 0‐ 69 Does not meet expectations

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

online

wwwgoverningcouncilutorontocapoliciesbehaveachtm

The University of Toronto also has a website dedicated to Academic Integrity and associated UofT resources

httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourceshow-not-to-plagiarize and 3) ldquoStandard

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

University and the provision of access for individuals to their personal informationrdquo

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

University and the provision of access for individuals to their personal informationrdquo

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community

10 Procedures amp Policies

a University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

Timely Submission of Assignments

bull The instructor expects that all assignments will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected

that arrangements for an alternate due date if required will be made directly with the instructor no

later than 2 days before the assignment is due Decisions regarding accepting of late assignments will

be made at the discretion of the instructor and will not typically exceed 48 hours Relevant

accommodations outlined in a Letter of Accommodation or a Letter of Consideration generated by

OISErsquos Student Services Office will be respected Work that is submitted late without arrangement

with the instructor will result in a grade reduction In most cases work that is submitted more than

20

one week late will receive a maximum grade of B- Work that is not submitted will result in a grade of

FZ (zero) for that assignment

b Final Grade Determination

Final Grade Determination Assignments are graded in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out by the

University ndash please refer to the University Assessment amp Grading Practices Policy

httpsgoverningcouncilutorontocasecretariatpoliciesgrading-practices-policy-university-assessment-and-

A 85 ‐ 89 Excellent

A‐ 80 ‐ 84 Strong

B+ 77 ‐ 79 Very Good

B 73 ‐ 76 Good

B‐ 70 ‐ 72 Adequate

FZ 0‐ 69 Does not meet expectations

c Academic Integrity

It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Torontorsquos policies and procedures on academic

matters The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters pertains to all students and faculty at the University of

Toronto This document states that it is an offence for a student knowingly ldquoto represent as onersquos own any

idea or expression of an idea or work of another in academic examination or term test or in connection with

any other form of academic work ie to commit plagiarismrdquo It also defines a number of other offences

which the University expects all students to know about and avoid Please review the complete document

Documentation Formatsrdquo httpwwwwritingutorontocaadviceusing-sourcesdocumentation

d Expectation of professional and collegial behaviours including attendance late assignments and use of

technology

Candidatesrsquo contributions to and participation in daily activities and collaborative tasks drawing upon

assigned readings and personal experience are directly related to success in this course As with all MT

classes punctual and regular attendance is not only highly beneficial to teacher development but also an

expectation of professionalism Participating in a professional culture may be new for some candidates for

most it is a habit of mind and practice that develops over time The instructor expects that all assignments

21

will be submitted by their posted due date It is expected that arrangements for an alternate due date if

required will be made directly with the instructor no later than (2) days before the assignment is due

How this translates to an online course Logging in regularly in order to keep up with asynchronous online

activity logging in on time for synchronous online activities (eg making sure yoursquore logged into Zoom a few

minutes prior to the start time to check that your technology is working properly) checking to make sure

that yoursquove uploaded assignments properly and by the due dates and that the instructor is able to see it

(eg make sure you havenrsquot uploaded it to the wrong folder and that you donrsquot have privacy settings that

are preventing the instructor from being able to access your file)

bull Attendance is mandatory in all MT classes

This course involves collaborative professional engagement so the learning experience for all is

weakened when colleagues are not present If you are unable to attend class please email me before

class begins You will be expected to review any files posted online (eg PowerPoint presentations)

and contact a classmate to acquire notes

Etiquette for online participation (suggestions to draw from)

bull Participate in a respectful and professional tone

bull Support your ideas with reasons and evidence Include examples Give proper credit

bull Asking questions is a good form of building discussion

bull Always be respectful No sarcasm But honest disagreement is appropriate indeed essential

bull Try to find ways to include others in the discussion

bull Problem-solve before posting a question

bull Stay on topic Donrsquot post irrelevant links pictures and comments

bull Donrsquot type in ALL CAPS ndash this is considered shouting

bull Be careful of jokes and sarcasm ndash they do not translate the same when typed

bull Review and edit before posting

Continuity Planning in Case of Disruption to Classes andor Field

bull The course syllabus is posted online on Pepper and Quercus Please refer to the syllabus for

information about all course assignments evaluation rubrics andor marking schemes and any

additional instructions that may be relevant in the event of an interruption of classes

e Notice of Recording of Lectures or Online Interactions

bull Students will be given notice that lectures or a lecture (online or in person) will be recorded

before the recorded class Ideally notification will also be offered if the recording is being made

by a student for their own personal use

bull Students will be given the option to opt out of recorded classes without penalty In general this

can be done with minimal disruption by designating an area of the class that will not be visible on

a video-recording or by the student turning off their camera andor microphone in an online

session and by providing students who do not wish for their voice to be recorded an alternative

means of participating and asking questions (eg by email chat during office hours or through a

written note passed to a teaching assistant) Students who wish to remain anonymous in a

recorded lecture must not be penalized for this choice ndash if for example participation is a

22

required component of the course students must be given another option to earn participation

credit that will not be recorded

f Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy

ldquoAs of June 10 2006 all Ontario universities have been covered by the Freedom of Information and

Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) This Act supports access to University records and protection of

privacy including the protection of personal information about individuals that is held by the

University and the provision of access for individuals to their personal informationrdquo

14 Accommodation of Religious Observances

It is the policy of the University of Toronto to arrange reasonable accommodation of the needs of

students who observe religious holy days other than those already accommodated by ordinary

scheduling and statutory holidays Students have a responsibility to alert members of the teaching staff

in a timely fashion to upcoming religious observances and anticipated absences Instructors will make

every reasonable effort to avoid scheduling tests examinations or other compulsory activities at these

times If compulsory activities are unavoidable every reasonable opportunity should be given to these

students to make up work that they miss particularly in courses involving laboratory work When the

scheduling of tests or examinations cannot be avoided students should be informed of the procedure to

be followed to arrange to write at an alternate time It is most important that no student be seriously

disadvantaged because of their religious observances However in the scheduling of academic and other

activities it is also important to ensure that the accommodation of one group does not seriously

disadvantage other groups within the University community
