This form is to be completed jointly by the cooperating teacher and teacher candidate
Teacher candidates (TC,) are in their first year of the program. During year one, they will have three different field placements at different grade
bands (1/2, 3/4, 5/6). The tasks outlined below provide guidance and set expectations for teacher candidate’s level of involvement. While a TC may
not be able to complete all of the tasks at each placement, it is important they attempt to complete all of them at least once in order to have a well-
rounded experience. At the beginning of each field placement, the university supervisor, cooperating teacher (CT) and the TC should review this
document.
Place an “X” on the appropriate line, indicating the candidate has completed that task.
