Education Field Experience:
Spread your professional wings with our support.
Our Field Experience Team is dedicated to your success. We match your professional goals with select mentor teachers in high caliber schools. Let our strong relationships with the field help you achieve your best.
Each year, our Field Experience team arranges nearly 400 student practica in regional schools. Under the guidance of Coordinator John Phipps, a team of over 40 Field Experience Faculty members liaise with sponsor teachers, school personnel and students to ensure students completing our programs:
- fulfill required Education Program Outcomes
- meet the current BC College of Teachers (BCCT) Standards
- learn & practice the BC Teachers' Federation Code of Ethics
To date, well over one thousand students have graduated after completing successful practica. Our commitment to student success combined with superior field partnerships are key aspects of our program.
Our Field Experience Team looks forward to helping you meet your professional goals. Our office, located on the second floor of Building 356, is open Monday-Friday. For more information or an appointment please email Pamela Hoy or call 250-740-6223.
