IECE 150 is the final practicum for the IECE Certificate program and is designed to allow students to apply their skills and knowledge of the role of an Early Childhood Educator in a community childcare program while being mentored under the supervision of a NVIT practicum Instructor and a designated practicum Mentor/Supervisor. Students will be assessed in relation to the competencies in the Student Assessment and Feedback Booklet. This assessment is intended to act as a living document for students as they progress through their course and practicum work. It is expected that students will grow in their knowledge, core competencies, skills, and professional practice throughout the practicum, including supporting the Truth and Reconciliation goals of moving towards an understanding and appreciation of Indigenous ways of knowing and being. Students will work directly with the children for 200 hours and attend 10 hours practicum seminar In this final practicum students will take a leadership role in designing and implementing curriculum, introducing a project to a group of young children, observing and recording children's learning while making learning visible to the children, families, educators, and community. In this final practicum, students will have increased opportunities for reflection and the practice of ethical decision-making. 2025/06/09-2025/07/18 Practicum Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Times to be Announced, Room to be Announced
