Course description

This course is designed as a capstone experience in the BEd program where students are enabled to plan, act and reflect as professionals. It includes an on-campus component and an action research component associated with the practice teaching experience and internship that follows. During the on-campus component, the professional identity and roles of the teacher are considered in relation to students, parents and the broader community. Action research theory and methods are introduced as one strategic method of acting professionally, ethically and collegially to improve student learning and educational outcomes. During the practice teaching experience and internship that follows, the students will consult their cooperating teacher and academic staff to plan, design and implement an action research project directly related to their teaching at the school. In the process of completing this course students will develop and demonstrate the professional, ethical and values-based standards and competencies required of beginning teachers.
