The course is the culminating activity of the professional education sequence.  Four weeks would be spent in selected off-campus school sites. While student-teaching, the teacher candidate is required to adhere to established policies and procedures of the school system in addition to those policies and procedures established by the University.  The clinical experience is designed to enable the teacher trainee to engage in competent reflective decision making while teaching, demonstrating professionalism, scholarship and sensitivity to individual and communal interests. Standards of good practice and ethical, professional behaviour as laid down by the GES should be maintained.
