Special Circumstances Form for Secondary Practicum

Please fill out the form, providing details of your special circumstance.

The form is available from May 15, 2023 – September 17, 2023.

The Teacher Education Office will do its best to arrange school placements with teacher candidate’s special circumstances in mind, but please be aware that not all special circumstances can be accommodated.

While every effort will be made to accommodate special circumstances, specific placements can never be guaranteed. All incoming students must be ready to accept placement at any location.

The following are not considered special circumstances:

  • Employment (it is suggested that students give their full attention to the school practicum)
  • No automobile (car pools and public transport are alternatives and are often less stressful)
  • General preference for placement in a certain district. Placements are limited and cannot be guaranteed in any given district.

Please feel free to speak directly with Cynthia Clerc, Program Manager – Practicum & Field Experience (Secondary), prior to the determination of practicum placements to discuss your situation.

Forms should be returned NO LATER than the end of the second week of classes in September.
