This introductory course offers the opportunity to explore what is involved in being a teacher within the context of a classroom and a school. Through an examination of the teaching-learning process with reference to psycho-social, philosophical, and political influences in contemporary society, you will explore the concept of personal worldview, its impact on teaching and learning and begin to construct an understanding of your own professional identity. You will participate in relevant field experiences within local schools.In order to ensure the safety of children in classrooms, local school jurisdictions require that student teachers submit a current Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector Search as well as an Alberta Children's Services Intervention Record Check.
