Guide to Written Components
As part of their placement, Student Teachers will create the following written records:
Weekly Reflection Journal
- The Journal allows Student Teachers to synthesize ideas, thoughts and activities from the week and link practice to theory,听as part of their own best practices in reflective teaching and PC development
- Journal content may be free-form but its tone should be professional (i.e. not that of a personal diary)
- The Journal must be kept up-to-date and readily available for consultation at any time (e.g. by the Co-operating Teacher, Field Supervisor, ISA Office).
- In addition to the Journal, students听may听choose to keep a personal diary; this document is not shared and is a tool for processing individual feelings and experiences
Activity/Lesson/Learning Plans & Planning Book
- Students Teachers, with the support of their Co-operating Teacher and Field Supervisor, will engage in rigorous activity, lesson/learning and unit planning as appropriate to each placement (see placement's workload schedule)
- Templates for and annotated versions of听activity, lesson, and learning plans are available听on the ISA website.听Student Teachers should use and build off of these comprehensive templates,听initially and for any observation/evaluation. Depending on the context, Student Teachers may elect to use a听condensed format听later on for their own planning, if not being evaluated.
- A log of all plans (Planning Book) must be kept up-to-date and readily available for consultation at any time (e.g. by the Co-operating Teacher, Field Supervisor, ISA Office). The Planning Book should contain up-to-date plans for all activities, lessons, and units taught by the Student Teacher, as well as the Student Teacher鈥檚 comments on adjustments or improvements to be made, based on implementation.
Professional e-Portfolio (excluding B.Ed. Phys. Ed.)
e-Logbook听(B.Ed. Phys. Ed. ONLY)
- Submitted by student to KPE via MyCourses
- A final grade for the field experience is contingent on and will not be issued until KPE has confirmed receipt of a student's satisfactory e-Logbook
听
Activity, Lesson听and Learning听Plans
Student teachers are required to complete detailed activity (FE2) or lesson/learning听plans for all of their teaching. These plans should be submitted to the cooperating teacher and supervisor in advance of scheduled teaching in order to communicate intended learning and to obtain feedback. As student teachers progress through the teacher education programs, expectations for planning also includes learning evaluation situations (LES) and planning for larger units of work. Student teachers are strongly encouraged to begin planning early so as to maximize the effectiveness and success of the intended learning for the students they will be teaching.

A "condensed" learning plan, which should NOT be used for observations/evaluations and should only be employed later into the placement once a student has thoroughly demonstrated the expectations of Professional Competency 3 ("Plan teaching and learning situations"), should at the minimum contain:
Take note that, depending on the context, some Co-operating Teachers,听host schools, and/or Field Supervisors may request that a Student Teacher consistently create comprehensive lesson plans, and never听use a condensed format. |

The Importance of Planning for Learning
In its simplest form, a lesson plan is the teacher鈥檚 road map of what students need to learn and how it will be done effectively during the class time. A Learning Plan, while similar in intent, is the articulation of a complex plan that focuses on the many integrated facets of intended learning. In the case of Quebec, a Learning Plan not only takes into account the content and planned activities for that learning opportunity but also considers the role of the Progressions of Learning, Cross-Curricular Competencies and Broad Areas of Learning to name a few (you can find copies of these documents ).
A good Learning Plan is a vital component of the teaching learning process. Thoughtful planning keeps teachers organized and on track and helps students meaningfully engage in the material. As a result, classroom disruptions are minimized, the stress on the teacher is reduced, and the learning environment is optimized for students.
The Internships and Student Affairs Office, in cooperation with the Department of Integrated Studies in Education, has developed a template for the Learning Plan that is considerate of the Quebec context as well as research on effective learning. We have consulted with administrators and Cooperating Teachers in the field as well as 黑料不打烊 instructors who have provided positive feedback. Drawing on Understanding by Design (Wiggins & McTighe, 2002), we have also developed an annotated version that includes guiding questions for each section to provide the students teacher with direction on how to complete an effective Learning Plan. For more background information, you can consult the Understanding by Design Background information on constructing meaningful learning.
During Internships and Field Experiences, student teachers are expected to develop detailed learning plans that demonstrate their ability to meaningfully plan for effective student learning. We strongly recommend that you utilize the Learning Plan templates and annotated versions provided here.

Assessment Tracking for Student Teachers
Student Teachers are recommended to review the workload/assessment schedule for their particular placement to听ensure that they are following the workload progression as per the schedule听and are receiving the assessments required per week (if any).
听
Action Plan
To be completed at the end of your Field Experience/Internship and reviewed at the start of your subsequent Field Experience/Internship
To contribute to the goal of preparing reflective practitioners, Teacher Candidates (Student Teachers) will write an Action Plan at the end of their initial placements (FE1, FE2, FE3, IN1) with input from their Co-operating Teacher(s) and/or Field Supervisor. The Action Plan synthesizes each placement鈥檚 evaluations and coaching conversations, links each placement to the next, establishes goals for improvement, and forms an agenda for discussion between the Student Teacher, Co-operating Teacher and Field Supervisor at the beginning of the subsequent placement.听

Distant Supervision Resources
Types of Supervision
- In-Person: Supervisor is present in the classroom while you are teaching
- Synchronous Remote: Supervisor observes in real time via Webex or Zoom
- Asynchronous Remote:听Supervisor observes a video recording via secure upload
Teaching Episode Consent Forms Procedure**NEW**
To protect the confidentiality of the young people with whom you will be teaching and to accommodate the need for remote field supervision, all Teacher Candidates听must听notify their cooperating teacher if their supervisor will be supervising remotely. It's important to communicate about this with the co-operating teachers even if a Field Supervisor does not plan on conducting remote assessments during the placement, in case unforeseen circumstances arise (e.g. inclement weather, illness, etc.) that would necessitate an assessment be conducted virtually. The Co-operating teacher should be able to confirm if the Teacher Candidates require the parental consent from their students. It is important that this is discussed at the introductory meeting. Student teachers and their Supervisors should submit their consent form to their supervisors in a timely manner.听

Synchronous Livestream of Teaching Episode
We recommend using WebEx provided the bandwidth of your internet access in schools will reliably support video streaming. If it does not, we recommend that you record the teaching episode and upload it using a private YouTube setting. Webex does not limit the time of the teaching episode like other platforms, such as Zoom, but offers similar functionality.
Instructions for using WebEx for livestreaming a teaching episode can be found HERE.
Asynchronous Recording of Teaching Episode
Any recording of a teaching episode must be deleted form ALL devices and platforms immediately following the completed assessment. We remind teacher candidates of their responsibility in ensuring that recorded teaching episode and associated material cannot be reproduced or placed in the public domain. This means that each of you can use it for you鈥檙e the assessment of your teaching episode ONLY. You cannot allow others to use it, by putting it up on the Internet or by giving it or selling it to others who may also copy it and make it available. Please refer to 黑料不打烊鈥檚 Guidelines for Instructors and Students on Remote Teaching and Learning for further information.
Instructions for uploading private teaching episode videos on YouTube can be found HERE.
