Fall/Winter
Secondary ITE Program
The regular secondary
initial teacher education program, offered
in the Fall/Winter session, is organized
into cohorts. Candidates of the Fall/Winter
Technological Education program join their
Intermediate/Senior (I/S) colleagues as
part of a secondary program cohort.
Teacher candidates take part of their initial
teacher education program in foundational
cohort groupings (Teacher Education Seminar,
Psychological Foundations of Learning and
Development, and School and Society). Technological
Education teacher candidates move outside
of their SP cohort for their Curriculum
and Instruction and Related Studies courses.
Secondary
Cohorts
Technological
Education Apprenticeship Program (TEAP)
The Technological Education
Apprenticeship Program (TEAP) is a multi-session
initial teacher education program offered
in two summer sessions for Technological
Education teacher candidates. It is designed
to attract highly skilled trade persons
representing teaching subjects in technological
education that are in short supply. It builds
on strong partnerships with boards of education
and targeted industries, to respond to the
critical shortage of teachers in technological
education in the province and to address
the issues of supply and demand in specific
subject areas.
TEAP follows the same
program of study as the regular program,
however the program schedule differs. Academic
coursework is split into two compressed
modules and are completed over two consecutive
summer sessions, usually running from late
June to the end of July.
The Practicum and
Internship components are completed in the
intervening academic year. TEAP candidates
have the option to fulfill the requirements
of the Practicum and Internship by obtaining
a Long Term Occasional teaching contract
in a secondary school or being placed by
OISE in partner schools with mentor teachers.
For either option, formal evaluation of
the Practicum and Internship occurs on the
same schedule as the Fall/Winter program.
TEAP candidates are eligible for a Transitional
Certificate of Qualification issued
by the Ontario College of Teachers when
they teach between the 1st & 2nd summer
modules.
