Thank you to the many Teacher Candidates who participated so actively in classroom sessions, workshops, surveys, focus groups and drop-in consults. This project was created for you, based on the onboarding survey you completed in Summer 2016 and has led to further programming for current and future Teacher Candidates based on your ‘exit survey’ and other feedback! Without you, this would not have happened. Our genuine thanks!
“In practicum, I found that the key to better student engagement was varying methods of assessment. Additionally, I learned that full integration and modelling use of educational technologies is important. It cannot be incorporated halfheartedly.” (Teacher Candidate in exit survey)
“I feel that I’m much more comfortable and more knowledgeable regarding many different media platforms (e.g. Plickers, padlet, google apps, etc.).” (Teacher Candidate in exit survey)
“I loved all the digital tech workshops!! I only wish we had more!” (Teacher Candidate in exit survey)
“I really appreciated this aspect of the teacher education program. I only wish that it was more integrated into the program as, say, a three-week class like in the summer terms, as opposed to only having guest lectures.” (Teacher Candidate in exit survey)
