With the end of August here and classes starting soon, I thought it'd be helpful to have a place for incoming B.Ed. students to ask any last-minute questions before the semester starts.
Current teacher candidates and teachers, feel free to jump in and answer based on your own experience.
Happy Monday!
If you’re thinking about applying to a B.Ed. (or you’re already in one) and have questions about the whole process, ask them here!
Current teacher candidates, recent grads, and qualified teachers — feel free to jump in and answer based on your own experience.
Could be anything from applications and choosing a program to placements, the MPT, OCT, supplying, or just what teacher’s college is actually like.
Ask away 👇
What’s the best advice you’ve received at the start of/throughout your career?
Edit: To add to this, what advice do you wish you had received or what advice would you give to someone just starting out.
We're trying something new on the sub! We thought it might be fun to start a weekly thread where we can ask questions we’re afraid/hesitant to post about!
Whether you’re confused about your B.Ed application, B.Ed placements, OCT, MPT, transitional certificate, LTOs, or just something everyone else seems to know already - ask it here!
And if you know the answer to someone else's question, jump in and help them out!
I’ll see how this goes and hopefully make it a regular weekly thread! 🍎
If you’re an Ontario teacher candidate, education student, future teacher, or thinking about applying to a B.Ed., come check out r/ONTeacherCandidates!
A place to ask questions, share experiences, talk about teacher’s college and placements, and discuss getting into teaching in Ontario.
Come join us and help build the community! :)
Welcome to r/ONTeacherCandidates, a space for Ontario teacher candidates, education students, and future teachers!
Whether you’re thinking about applying to teacher’s college, already in a B.Ed., doing your placements, or getting ready to start teaching, feel free to join in.
Use the sub to ask questions, share your experiences, talk about B.Ed. programs, swap advice and resources, and discuss the realities of becoming a teacher in Ontario.
Hopefully this can be a helpful place to connect with other Ontario teacher candidates and future educators.
Welcome! 🍎
Just a reminder/heads up to both Year 1 and Year 2 students that classes begin Monday, August 31st this year! Schedules should be out in the next couple weeks and parking passes will be available to purchase in mid to late August
Just wanted to give r/ONTeacherCandidates a shout for all those who are looking to apply to teachers college or are currently in teachers college! The sub is open to all with lots of users willing to answer questions/lots of prior info posted!
Hi all, hope you’re doing well in the last few days of school!
I’ve noticed some boards without clear directives for flagging AI in student work (but I suppose AI checkers come with their own ethical implications as well).
I’ve seen some teachers do a major shift to assigning tasks on paper (essays drafted in class, not bringing school work home, etc.).
As someone looking to teach at the high school level, what are some assignments you’ve adapted to being completed on paper only (outside of tests)? Any assessment/evaluation methods that have been proven to be AI proof?
TIA
Not much is happening during the off-season between admission cycles, so I thought I’d open up a general Q&A thread for anyone currently in a B.Ed program, preparing to apply, or just curious about teacher education in Ontario.
Have questions about:
• B.Ed programs
• Practicum
• Admissions
• Teacher college life
• Etc.
Feel free to ask below! No question is too basic.
Current teacher candidates, recent grads, and practicing teachers are also welcome to jump in and share their experience and advice.
