9Professional Programs Overview
The Faculty of Education, Lakehead University is dedicated to the preparation of teachers who are
independent, competent, reflective professionals.
All Bachelor of Education programs at Lakehead University culminate in the Professional Program. The
Professional courses, including 4398 and 4498, Student Teaching 1 and 2, are interrelated components of
the program. Course work provides preparation for the placement and an opportunity to reflect on
placement experiences. Teacher candidates are encouraged to use course assignments as preparation
for student teaching whenever possible. Teacher candidates must have completed all required academic
courses prior to entering the final student teaching placement of their program.
Candidates are responsible for meeting the Professional Year requirements for graduation and
certification as outlined in the Lakehead University 2020-2021 Academic Calendar.
The Concurrent (5 & 6-Year) Program – Orillia Campus
The Concurrent Bachelor of Education (Two-year post-undergraduate degree) is open to applicants with a
high school diploma who began their studies in September 2015 or later. The Bachelor of Arts &
Science/Bachelor of Education Professional Program leads, after five years of study, to teacher
certification by the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) at the Primary-Junior level (JK - Grade 6). The
Honours Bachelor of Arts & Science/Bachelor of Education Professional Program leads, after six years of
study, to a similar teacher certification. In the pre-professional portion of their degree, students complete
three required Education courses, EDUC 1050 Introduction to Education, EDUC 2050 Introduction to
Teaching, and 0.5 FCE in Education electives. In their professional program, concurrent students
complete a common core of subjects in teaching methods across subject disciplines and other core
courses such as Democracy & Education, Aboriginal Education, Environmental Education, Professional
Practice, Social Difference in Education, Educational Psychology, and Planning & Evaluation, &
Classroom Management. In addition to courses, students will complete 105 days of teaching placements
over two academic years. First-year placements are completed in local or adjacent boards, and second-
year placements may take place in one of the many School Boards across Ontario that are affiliated with
Lakehead University's Faculty of Education.
The Consecutive (2-Year) Professional Program – Orillia Campus
The Consecutive Bachelor of Education (Two-year post-undergraduate degree) is open to applicants with
academic backgrounds who have already completed an undergraduate degree. The Bachelor of
Education Professional Program leads, after two years of study, to teacher certification by the Ontario
College of Teachers (OCT) at the Primary-Junior level (JK - Grade 6). The professional program course
requirements and the practicum model are the same as those for the Concurrent (2-Year) Program.

10LU Faculty of Education Assessment Rubric
Assessment Rubric
11Primary/Junior Mathematics Competency Exam
P/J candidates must demonstrate mathematics proficiency and pass, to a 75% level of competence, an
examination set at the Ontario Grade 6/7 level. Candidates in Year 1 of the Professional Program who do
not pass the initial sitting of the Mathematics Content Examination in the fall, must enroll in and complete
EDUC 3519 - Mathematics Curriculum for P/J Teaching, and may re-take the test in the following March.
Candidates who do not pass the examination in either of the two sittings in the academic year (September
and March), must then register in EDUC 0450, which will allow them two additional supplemental sittings
in September and March of the following year. If a candidate fails their third attempt in September of their
second year, they will not be permitted to proceed to their November-December practicum. Achieving a
75% level of competence is a requirement for graduation.
For more information, please visit Math Competency Exam
Professional Development
Event details for the mandatory Professional Development Days will be communicated throughout the
academic year.

13Cellular Telephone Use Advisement
Professional Courtesy and the Use of Cell Phones
As more and more school districts establish rules governing the use of cellular (mobile) phones in schools
during hours of instruction, the Faculty of Education cautions candidates, particularly those in the
Professional Program, that the use of a cell phone in class for personal communications (whether
checking voice-mail, reading or sending text-messages, or making conventional telephone calls) is
professionally unacceptable in the context of a class or while a formal presentation is in progress.
Moreover, since the use of digital image capturing devices in cameras, cell phones, and personal digital
assistants (PDAs) has the potential to be used in a manner that violates the privacy of instructors and
students, the Faculty of Education requests that such devices be used only with prior permission of the
person(s) to be photographed.
The Faculty has a secondary concern, namely, that cellular technology can be used to transmit test
questions in advance if a student has been granted permission to write early, and to acquire answers to
questions while a test or exam is in progress. Personal electronic devices have the potential to be used
for academic dishonesty: OCT Professional Advisory on the Use of Electronic Communications and Social
Media. Accordingly, the Faculty of Education requires that students power off * or mute their cell phones
during classes, presentations, tests, and exams, and that, while on practicum, teacher candidates not use
them in any way that contravenes the school’s or board’s protocols.
Most Canadian schools require that cell phones not be used during hours of instruction. The use of digital
image capturing devices in cameras, cell phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) has the potential
to be used in a manner that violates the privacy and dignity of others and may not be used without
express awareness and formal consent of the individuals being recorded.
Printing Dollars
Since implementing our card-based copy and print system in May of 2012, we have successfully reduced
our overall printing demand by half, resulting in a lower environmental footprint as well as significant cost
savings to our department. We can also further reduce our copy and print expenditures by adopting scan-
to-email (a free service).
Although all copy/print credit allocations on LU ID cards are unlimited per year, the Faculty of Education
has a very specific budget that must be respected. The Education Administration Team will closely
monitor full-time employees, full-time faculty and contract lecturers through bi-weekly usage reporting, to
ensure that printing privileges are not being abused by any single user.
Further to this, there will no secondary outsourced printing allotments at Georgian Bay Printers for the
2020-2021 academic year. Should the availability of this change, the Education Administration Team will
notify all employees and faculty.
14Honorarium for Elders
Please fully complete the form under Appendix B.
A separate form must be submitted for each proposed Elder Visit to each section of any Education
course. The request will be reviewed by the Chair and the approval decision will be communicated to the
instructor who submitted the request.
Gift Certificate Honorarium
If an Elder does not wish to provide their DOB or SIN, the second option is to purchase a gift card. In this
instance, the Instructor is responsible for purchasing the gift card and submitting the receipt (not greater
than $75.00) and event details to the Education Office. Please Note: The gift card must be a purchase
that is ACADEMIC or FOR LIVING in nature - not LCBO or any other ENTERTAINMENT type purchase.
Field Trip Information
If you are considering including field trips in your courses, you are required to prepare a record of such
events so that the Education Office can document them for liability purposes. The goal is to be proactive
and ensure that our students and faculty are provided with every protection possible when they are
engaged in learning opportunities off campus. Please visit Risk Management - Field Trip Planning for
detailed procedures, along with the waiver and informed consent forms.

19Expectations
Your ability to learn, understand, and retain knowledge was demonstrated through the undergraduate
degree required for entry into the Professional Program. The focus of the Professional Program is on
building understanding of the issues and complexities of the teaching and learning process, and on
gaining the skills necessary for becoming a successful teacher. To that end:
1. Attendance is an expectation. This is an integrated program of foundational and
methodological studies enhanced through periods of intense practical application, and
requires full-time attendance. Students are expected to maintain a professional, responsible
approach to both classes and student teaching placements. Failure to meet course attendance
requirements, as outlined in the syllabus, may result in a failed grade. Students who fail a
course may not proceed to the practicum. Failure in more than one course will result in a failed
year.
2. Requirements on the course outline will be used for assessment. The course outline and
assessment rubric make expectations and deadlines explicit. Late assignments are accepted
only under unusual, documentable circumstances. Students cannot redo assignments, rewrite
exams, or make additional submissions to boost a mark once a summative assessment has
taken place.
3. Assessment is a reflection of academic rigour. Only in instances where there is unusual
disparity among marks or abnormal inconsistency in outcomes will an instructor re-examine a
final assessment.
4. Deadlines may need to be altered during the course of the year in response to the COVID-19
pandemic. If the pandemic necessitates changes to our schedules and due dates, the instructor
will advise learners, in writing by email and/or on the D2L platform with at least 7 days of
notice.
