School Administrators

Principals and Vice-Principals facilitate the smooth running of practice teaching in many ways, including:

• cooperating with the recruitment of Associate/Mentor Teachers;
• assisting in the orientation of teacher candidates assigned to their school;
• facilitating teacher candidate’s involvement in activities beyond the classroom setting (e.g., staff meetings, staff socials, student functions, professional development days, parent/teacher conferences);
• cooperating with Faculty Advisors in solving problems that may arise;
• providing both positive and critical feedback to the Field Experience Manager on the general performance of teacher candidates and the administration of the practicum;
• processing the forms for payment of Associate/Mentor Teachers;
• cooperating with teachers to ensure the prompt return of assessment reports to the Faculty.
