5. Student teaching is expensive and you are responsible for making your own arrangements regarding transportation and living accommodations. You should take into consideration that travel time is necessary and you can expect that a commute to your placement of an hour is not unreasonable. In some cases, you may be required to travel to a placement that is not accessible by public transportation. In these cases, you will be required to make your own arrangements regarding transportation.
6. The Practicum Registration Forms, completed by candidates as part of the pre-registration procedures, serves only as a guideline for allocation. The candidate cannot make demands of the Practice Teaching Office with respect to a specific placement.
7. Candidates MUST NOT undertake negotiations with a school board or individual schools to arrange placements. Nor can you request specific schools.
Board Choice Form
We strongly recommend that you research the hiring practices of school boards. It could have an impact on how you choose your school boards.
