YEAR ONE Bachelor of Education (BEd) Submission of Preferences for EDPR 1000 Community Practicum
Students enrolled in EDPR 1000 can search Community Practicum options and submit five placement preferences beginning mid-day July 22nd, through July 28th, 2024.
The placement process is not first come-first served; all preferences will be taken into consideration, if submitted during the (mid-day July 22nd- July 28th) timeline. If preferences aren’t submitted during this timeline, students will be a part of the round two selection process and will submit preferences in late August.
To search placement options and to submit preferences starting July 22nd, please visit: https://apps.edu.yorku.ca/practicum.
- Students can expect an in-person placement and must submit a minimum of four in-person options out of their five placement preferences. Students are not permitted to submit ALL virtual options as their placement preferences.
- If a community partner has multiple placement options, students should submit one placement preference from any particular community partner. ALL preferences from the same community partner will not be accepted.
- For B.Ed. students, your placement day is designated for you, according to the Year 1 program calendars (https://www.yorku.ca/edu/students/undergraduate-programs/bed-program-calendars/). Teacher Candidates cannot modify their placement day.
All student preferences are taken into consideration; however, the Practicum Office does NOT guarantee a placement based exclusively on student preferences. Any questions regarding community practicum and/or technical difficulties should be sent via email and directed to: communitypracticum@edu.yorku.ca.
Students are NOT to contact Community Partners (until confirmation of placement is received by the Practicum Office late August/early September). You will be able to access the system in late August to see your confirmed Community Practicum location.
Please carefully review the placement details, expectations, and responsibilities.
You are responsible to follow and adhere to the requirements outlined in the placement details (including additional requirements, screening interviews, and orientation).
EVERY Community Practicum is different, so please refer to your specific Community Practicum details for orientation, start dates etc.
Students cannot miss scheduled class time and/or other Faculty commitments to attend Community Practicum.
Best, Faculty of Education Experiential Education Office
