Overview

Initial School Practicum — Short-Term Exposure

  • Observation
  • Literacy support

Rouge Park was an initial school practicum providing short-term classroom exposure and observation, not an extended teaching placement.

I built positive relationships with students and contributed to an inclusive and respectful learning environment, supported classroom activities, literacy instruction, and small-group learning, and observed a range of instructional settings including literacy stations and primary-level music instruction.

Focus / Teaching areas

Mathematics

Number sense, patterning, fractions, and data management aligned with the Ontario Curriculum.
