Student Teaching/Field Experience for Education Students
The Internships and Student Affairs Office (ISA), mcgill.ca/isa, is responsible for arranging the placement and evaluation of all student teachers in supervised Field Experiences.
About Field Experiences
About Field Experiences
Field Experiences:
- are required courses (with the subject code EDFE) for all students in B.Ed. programs from first through fourth year;
- are the sole responsibility of the Faculty of Education and are organized by the Internships and Student Affairs Office. Under no circumstances should students make their own placement arrangements;
- must be taken in the required sequence;
- require that newly admitted and returning students follow registration procedures (see Faculty of Education > Undergraduate > Faculty Regulations for Undergraduate Programs > Registration) or risk not being placed in a host school in a given term;
- are completed in schools within English school boards or private schools in the province of Quebec in the majority of cases, with the exception of the B.Ed. TESL program, in which students are placed in Francophone school boards or private schools in the province of Quebec;
- can be specialized in some circumstances; refer to the ISA website for information regarding such opportunities (distance, special needs, resource room, adult education, etc.);
- require that students travel to their host school. Students should therefore budget time and money for this purpose;
- may begin before the first day of lectures or end after the last day of lectures;
- may continue during regularly scheduled University breaks;
- may continue through May into the Summer term (refer to the ISA website or Minerva for exact dates).

Returning Students
Returning Students
Returning students:
- must register for the appropriate Field Experience course by the date set forth by the Internships & Student Affairs Office; this date will be communicated to students at their @mail.mcgill.ca email address;

- must be in Satisfactory Standing and have satisfied all prerequisite and corequisite course requirements (refer to mcgill.ca/isa/teaching). B.Ed. Secondary program students must have successfully completed 24 credits in their official subject area prior to Field Experience 3. All B.Ed. students must successfully pass the English Exam for Teacher Certification (EETC; EDEC 215) prior to Field Experience 3. Minerva does not necessarily prevent students from registering for courses that they should not take. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of prerequisites, corequisites, restrictions, and Faculty regulations that apply to the courses in which they register. Students should consult an academic adviser for assistance. Students missing any of these requirements will be removed from their field placement. (See Early Dismissal from Field Experience.)
- in B.Ed. K/Elementary, Secondary, and TESL programs who wish to transfer within these programs will not be required to repeat Field Experience 1.
Student Responsibilities
Student Responsibilities
Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the policies and rules governing all aspects of Field Experience, including pedagogical and professional behaviour, available at mcgill.ca/isa/teaching/ehandbook/policy.
Students are advised not to engage in any type of employment during Field Experience nor register for any non-corequisite course(s) that might conflict with times when students should be in the field, and therefore will interfere with the successful outcome of a Field Experience.
Guidelines (Syllabus)

Detailed guidelines and evaluation forms for every Field Experience are posted on the ISA website, arranged by program and year. Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the objectives, evaluation criteria, and forms for each level of Field Experience, and must submit all completed evaluation forms to the ISA on the first business day following the end of the Field Experience in order to receive a grade.
Attendance and Absences
Attendance and Absences
Punctual attendance is required at the assigned school for the entire Field Experience. Alternate dates cannot be arranged at the request of the student. Unexcused absences from intensive courses and professional seminars may result in exclusion from the course, course failure, and/or removal from any associated Field Experience.
Days absent due to illness or 黑料社 exams must be made up at the end of the Field Experience. Absences due to illness extending beyond two days require a valid medical note (see mcgill.ca/wellness-hub/access-care/medical-notes) to be submitted to the ISA, and, depending on the circumstances, the outcome of the Field Experience will be evaluated on an individua
