CONT682: Cooperative Education Part 2

Course Schedule

Registration will remain open until 4pm EST on the posted registration deadline date.

Course Description

Cooperative education is unlike other school-based programs. It’s highly individuated, largely community based, and often transitional in nature. It prepares students for life beyond high school by connecting class work and real-world experience. Coop education allows students to explore and experience work opportunities.

In this course you will have the opportunity to:

• understand the theoretical foundation of constructivism as it applies to experiential education
• discuss and reflect on legal and ethical issues
• participate in online discussions and collaborate with fellow candidates
• apply instructional strategies and assessment practices to the cooperative education program
• recognize the value of collaboration with school personnel, parents, and the community to create opportunities to enhance and support student learning
• investigate resources, readings, and technology that will help your practice
• develop a personal journal to collect notes, artifacts, and reflections

Application Requirements

1. OCT Membership showing completion of Part 1
2. CONFIRMATION OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE FORM Signed by a Supervisory Official* from your Board confirming that you have one year (194 days) of teaching experience since becoming a certified teacher.

*The Ontario College of Teachers defines "Supervisory Official" as the Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent of the school board for a teacher employed by a Board of Education. A principal or headmaster is not recognized in this capacity. For a teacher employed by a private school, the "supervisory official" is the Ministry of Education official (Education Officer) appointed to your school. For overseas experience the appropriate Supervisory Official is the person your Principal reports to.

Please note that if you have an existing Part 2, Part 3 (Specialist), or Honour Specialist qualification on your OCT record you are not required to submit a form for a Part 2 course. A new form is always required for Part 3 (Specialist).
