Professional Programs Overview
The Faculty of Education, Lakehead University is dedicated to the preparation of teachers who are
independent, competent, reflective professionals.
All Bachelor of Education programs at Lakehead University culminate in the Professional Program. The
Professional courses, including 4398 and 4498, Student Teaching 1 and 2, are interrelated components of
the program. Course work provides preparation for the placement and an opportunity to reflect on
placement experiences. Teacher candidates are encouraged to use course assignments as preparation
for student teaching whenever possible. Teacher candidates must have completed all required academic
courses prior to entering the final student teaching placement of their program.
Candidates are responsible for meeting the Professional Year requirements for graduation and
certification as outlined in the Lakehead University 2019-2020 Academic Calendar.
The Concurrent (5 & 6-Year) Program - Orillia Campus
The Concurrent Bachelor of Education (Two-year post-undergraduate degree) is open to
applicants with a high school diploma who began their studies in September 2015 or later. The
Bachelor of Arts & Science/Bachelor of Education Professional Program leads, after five years
of study, to teacher certification by the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) at the Primary-Junior
level (JK - Grade 6). The Honours Bachelor of Arts & Science/Bachelor of Education
Professional Program leads, after six years of study, to a similar teacher certification. In the pre-
professional portion of their degree, students complete three required Education courses,
EDUC 1050 Introduction to Education, EDUC 2050 Introduction to Teaching, and 0.5 FCE in
Education electives. In their professional program, concurrent students complete a common
core of subjects in teaching methods across subject disciplines and other core courses such as
Democracy & Education, Aboriginal Education, Environmental Education, Professional Practice,
Social Difference in Education, Educational Psychology, and Planning & Evaluation, &
Classroom Management. In addition to courses, students will complete 105 days of teaching
placements over two academic years. First-year placements are completed in local or adjacent
boards, and second-year placements may take place in one of the many School Boards across
Ontario that are affiliated with Lakehead University's Faculty of Education.
The Consecutive (2-Year) Professional Program - Orillia Campus
The Consecutive Bachelor of Education (Two-year post-undergraduate degree) is open to
applicants with academic backgrounds who have already completed an undergraduate degree.
The Bachelor of Education Professional Program leads, after two years of study, to teacher
certification by the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) at the Primary-Junior level (JK - Grade
6). The professional program course requirements and the practicum model are the same as
those for the Concurrent (2-Year) Program.

Primary/Junior Mathematics Competency Exam
P/J candidates must demonstrate mathematics proficiency and pass, to a 75% level of competence, an
examination set at the Ontario Grade 6/7 level. Candidates in Year 1 of the Professional Program who do
not pass the initial sitting of the Mathematics Content Examination in the fall, must enroll in and complete
EDUC 3519 - Mathematics Curriculum for P/J Teaching, and may re-take the test in the following March.
Candidates who do not pass the examination in either of the two sittings in the academic year (September
and March), must then register in EDUC 0450, which will allow them two additional supplemental sittings
in September and March of the following year. If a candidate fails their third attempt in September of their
second year, they will not be permitted to proceed to their November-December practicum. Achieving a
75% level of competence is a requirement for graduation.

(e) Incomplete Standing An incomplete grade may, at the discretion of the instructor and in consultation
with the student, be assigned to a course when the instructor considers that for a valid reason the
student has not yet completed all the requirements of the course. In such cases, when a percentage
grade would normally be assigned to the course, the instructor must also assign a grade for work
completed to that point, expressed as a portion of the entire course mark. Courses graded on a Pass/Fail
basis will be assigned an INC. Incomplete grades will not be included in the calculation of the student's
average.
(f) The instructor is obliged to set the due date for the additional work in order to permit submission of the
revised grade to the Registrar's Office by the dates listed below:

TEACHER CANDIDATE ASSESSMENT RUBRIC

current-students/resources-for-your-success
Expectations
The ability to learn, understand, and retain knowledge has been demonstrated through the
undergraduate degree required for entry into the Professional Program. The focus of the Professional
Program is on building understanding of the issues and complexities of the teaching and learning
process, and on gaining the skills necessary for becoming a successful teacher. To that end:
1. Attendance is an expectation. Courses are based on reflection, discussion, and interaction,
much of which take place in class and require full-time attendance. Teacher candidates are
expected to maintain a professional, responsible approach to both classes and teaching
placements. Failure to meet course attendance requirements, as outlined in the syllabus, may
result in a failed grade. Visit Undergraduate Academic Regulations, 3.a)
http://csdc.lakeheadu.ca/Catalog/ViewCatalog.aspx?pageid=viewcatalog&catalogid=25&cha
pterid=7006&topicgroupid=23143&loaduseredits=False
2. Requirements on the course syllabus will be used for assessment. The syllabus and assessment
rubric make expectations and deadlines explicit. Late assignments are accepted only under
rare, documentable circumstances. A date for late submission of assignment(s) is negotiated
between the instructor and teacher candidate in writing. Teacher candidates cannot redo
assignments, rewrite exams, or make additional submissions to boost a mark once a
summative assessment has taken place.
3. Assessment is a reflection of academic rigour. Only in instances where there is unusual
disparity among marks or abnormal inconsistency in outcomes, will an instructor re-examine a
final assessment.
17Practice on Recording Student Presentations
The Faculty of Education has mandated the following “Guidelines for Recording of Student Presentations”
in Education courses:
Faculty of Education courses come with expectations laid out in course outlines; if teacher candidates wish
to take and pass courses, they must meet the stated expectations, including those which make provision
for legitimate use of recorded presentations, regardless of the medium.
The Faculty of Education policy allows for the recording of candidate presentations if certain guidelines
(placed in the relevant course outlines) are adhered to by instructors:
1) The recording should serve a pedagogical purpose, such as providing feedback
to candidates regarding their work, facilitating self- or peer-evaluation, or enabling the instructor
to provide a more accurate evaluation of a candidate’s presentation.
2) The exact use of the tape or other medium should be made clear to the candidates, and nobody
outside the class should be able to view the recording without the candidate’s consent.
3) If the recording is to be "published" or made use of for research in any way – i.e., used as part of
a research project or as an exemplar for future classes-then candidates’ permission should be
solicited via a consent form of the type normally used in research studies. If the recording is to be
used as part of a class research project, the Faculty of Education’s own Ethical Review Board
Procedures must be followed; all other research must conform to Lakehead University Ethical
Review Board Guidelines.
4) In all cases the secure storage of the material should be guaranteed, and the date of disposal
indicated. 21 January 2005
Cellular Telephone Use Advisement
Professional Courtesy and the Use of Cell Phones
As more and more school districts establish rules governing the use of cellular (mobile) phones in schools
during hours of instruction, the Faculty of Education cautions candidates, particularly those in Professional
Program, that the use of a cell phone in class for personal communications (whether checking voice-mail,
reading or sending text-messages, or making conventional telephone calls) is professionally unacceptable
in the context of a class or while a formal presentation is in progress. Moreover, since the use of digital
image capturing devices in cameras, cell phones, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) has the potential
to be used in a manner that violates the privacy of instructors and students, the Faculty of Education
requests that such devices be used only with prior permission of the person(s) to be photographed.
The Faculty has a secondary concern, namely, that cellular technology can be used to transmit test
questions in advance if a student has been granted permission to write early, and to acquire answers to
questions while a test or exam is in progress. Personal electronic devices have the potential to be used for
academic dishonesty: OCT Professional Advisory on the Use of Electronic Communications and Social
Media. Accordingly, the Faculty of Education requires that students power off * or mute their cell phones
during classes, presentations, tests, and exams, and that, while on practicum, teacher candidates not use
them in any way that contravenes the school’s or board’s protocols.
Most Canadian schools require that cell phones not be used during hours of instruction. The use of digital
image capturing devices in cameras, cell phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) has the potential
to be used in a manner that violates the privacy and dignity of others and may not be used without express
awareness and formal consent of the individuals being recorded.
18Printing Dollars
Since implementing our card-based copy and print system in May of 2012, we have successfully reduced
our overall printing demand by half, resulting in a lower environmental footprint as well as significant cost
savings to our department.
All copy/print credit allocations are limited to a maximum of $300 per year for full-time employees. At the
beginning of each fiscal year (May 1st) this amount is reset to $300.
All copy/print credit allocations are limited to a maximum of $50 per year for contract lecturers. At the
beginning of each fiscal year (May 1st) this amount is reset to $50.
Requests for allocations above these levels require a written request to the Chair of Orillia Education for
approval, citing the rationale for the request. Individual users should monitor their allocation balances and
notify the Chair should their balance fall below 10% of the total. Please note that all requests for a change
to a person's allocation may take up to 5 business days to complete from the day a ticket is submitted.
We can also further reduce our copy and print expenditures by adopting scan-to-email (a free service),
and routing large copy or print jobs to Georgian Bay Printers.
Any large copy or print jobs should be re-directed to Georgian Bay Printers, with a 5 – 7 business day
lead-time. All instructors have been allocated a credit for printing in the amount of $10/0.25 FCEs, which
should be cited along with the full course code and document title(s) each time an order is placed. Again,
any requests for changes in allocation will take at least 5 business days to complete.
Informed consent, health and safety, accident report and emergency contact forms should be
submitted to the Education Office for printing with a lead-time of at least 5 business days.
Room/Class Time Changes
From time to time the Education Office receives requests from instructors and cohorts to change times
and rooms of classes on an ad-hoc basis, for accommodation of planned events, guest speakers or one-
time moves. While we would like to approve every request, unfortunately the allocation of rooms and the
timing of classes are part of a complicated web of activities in our building, and one change cannot help
but impact another, often unintentionally, but negatively. With that in mind, we will adhere to the following
protocol in making decisions about room or class time changes.
If you wish to change the time and/or of a class, submit a request in writing to the Chair, along with the
signature of every member of the class indicating their agreement to the change. The request must be
unanimous, or it will not be considered.
CRITERIA FOR CHANGES
● Enrolment increases beyond the capacity of the classroom assigned and a larger classroom is
needed; the assigned classroom does not have all or some of the room facilities (technical or
other) requested and a classroom;
● The number of students enrolled in a course can be accommodated in a smaller classroom,
allowing another course with more students to use the larger classroom;
● The potential impact on program delivery or impacts the ability of a student to complete his/her
degree program;
19● The need to accommodate Health & Safety Issues (including disability) of an instructor or a
student; or
● In cases of emergencies (evacuations causing disruption to normal services).
All requests must be made in writing first to the Chair (mhoechsm@lakeheadu.ca), and kindly
copy Julie Howell (jhowell@lakeheadu.ca).
Requests should contain the following information:
1. Name of requestor, contact info (email extension)
2. Course
3. Student Capacity

Booking Rooms at Heritage Place
If you would like to book a room/space for a particular occasion, such as break-out space, please send an
email to Rosa Fabiano (rfabiano@lakeheadu.ca). Emails must include the requested booking date, time,
room number and reason for the request. All room booking requests must be submitted with
advance notice of at least 4 business days. Due to space restrictions, we cannot guarantee your
request will be approved. Approved requests will be confirmed via email.
Ministry Curriculum Documents
A class set of all curriculum documents (approx. 40 copies) will be retained in OH18 for in-class use, and
must be returned after each use.
Courier Services from HP to Simcoe Hall and Thunder Bay Campuses
In an effort to reduce shipping costs, we will only initiate a request for delivery to either campus once we
have enough mail to substantiate a pick-up.
If your delivery is time-sensitive, please advise the Administrative Assistant. Although we will do our best
to get your mail shipped in a timely fashion, we cannot guarantee the arrival date. To ensure submission
deadlines are met, we recommend submitting your mail to the Education Office at least 2 weeks in
advance.
Please Note: Only mail associated with the Faculty of Education will be accepted and shipped. Personal
mailing requests will be rejected.
20Guests at Heritage Place
If you intend to invite a guest to your class and require a guest parking pass, please send your request,
with advance notice of at least 4 business days, to Rosa Fabiano (rfabiano@lakeheadu.ca). Be sure to
include your guest’s name, and the date of their visit. Once the pass is prepared, you will then receive a
confirmation email containing the pass and parking instructions, to forward to your guest.
If your guest requires WIFI access during their visit, please indicate that when you are requesting the
parking pass, as the WIFI login credentials are generated by TSC, and it cannot be done on the same day
of the event. The login information will be included in the confirmation email.
Please Note: At this time, we do not have any Lakehead University gifts to present to guest speakers.
We do have Lakehead University branded thank you cards, which are available in the Education Office.
Please see Julie Howell or Rosa Fabiano.

Classroom Supplies
Please advise the Education Office when supplies are low, to ensure enough time
before the next class to replenish the stock. We want to avoid leaving the next
Instructor without any supplies

Office, behind the Administrative Assistant’s desk

request to have their work put in your mail folder
Honorarium for Elders
Please fully complete the form below.
A separate form must be submitted for each proposed Elder Visit to each section of any Education
course. The request will be reviewed by the Chair and the approval decision will be communicated to the
instructor who submitted the request.
Gift Certificate Honorarium
If the Elder does not wish to provide their DOB or SIN, the second option is to purchase a gift card. In this
instance, the Instructor is responsible for purchasing the gift card and submitting the receipt (not greater
than $75.00) and event details to the Education Office. Julie or Rosa will then complete a cheque
requisition for reimbursement to the Instructor. Please Note: The gift card must be a purchase that is
ACADEMIC or FOR LIVING in nature - not LCBO or any other ENTERTAINMENT type purchase.

Field Trip Information
If you are considering including field trips in your courses, you are required to prepare a record of such
events so that the Education Office can document them for liability purposes. The goal is to be proactive
and ensure that our students and faculty are provided with every protection possible when they are
engaged in learning opportunities off campus. Please visit Risk Management - Field Trip Planning for
detailed procedures, along with the waiver and informed consent forms.
