Course Details

|
IECE 148 is the first practicum and provides students with the opportunity to interact with young children at a variety of childcare programs such as preschools, Head Start programs, Strong Start programs, daycares, early years centers, and family daycares. This practicum provides students with 80 hours of direct time with children and Mentors/ Supervisors in a childcare setting as well as 5 hours of practicum seminar. This course will give the students practical experience that will enhance their course and classroom studies by connecting theory and practice. Students will be assessed in relation to the competencies in the Student Assessment and Feedback Booklet. This assessment is intended to act as a living document for students as they progress through their course and practicum work. It is expected that students will grow in their knowledge, core competencies, skills, and professional practice throughout the practicum, including supporting the Truth and Reconciliation goals of moving towards an understanding and appreciation of Indigenous ways of knowing and being. The IECE program encourages the modeling of making learning visible. Documenting these competencies provides instructors with a holistic view of the student's growth. Students will benefit from multiple perspectives that include the student voice, peer voices, as well as the Mentor/Supervisor and the NVIT practicum Instructor.
