How does the 16 month consecutive program differ from the two year program?
The 16 month program begins in May and ends in August of the following year. Some courses will be offered as Summer Institutes whereby classes may be held daily for two weeks rather than once a week for ten weeks. The practicum placements will involve observation at the beginning of the school year, a 4-5 week practicum in the fall term (Nov-Dec) and 2 back to back practicum course experiences (March-April and May-June). If you are accepted to the 16 month consecutive program all practice teaching for the first two practicum courses must take place in the Annapolis Valley Regional School Board (AVRSB). For the last two practicum courses you may request AVRSB, Halifax Regional School Board (HRSB), South Shore Regional School Board (SSRSB), or Tri-County Regional School Board (TCRSB).
