TSOL111 Practical Studies in Education

Observing and experiencing different teaching environments is an integral part of a teaching program. TSOL 111: Practical Studies in Education is a practical education opportunity. Students will observe a wide variety of instructional methods through observations and assisting where possible in various teaching environments including: Selkirk International English Language Program, approved local elementary or high school placements, educational workshops or short-term programs or at daycare centres. Through observation, assisting instructors where possible and discussions with experienced instructors, students gain first-hand experience and insight in to different delivery methods. A one-hour weekly group seminar provides the opportunity for students to share and reflect on their experience.
