The placement dates are as follows: 
Year 1 Students - March 20 to April 28, 2023
Year 2 Students - March 20 to April 25, 2023

What you need to do in preparation for your Winter 2023 placement

In conversation with Éric Gauthier 
Tuesday, December 13, 2022: 5:00-6:00 pm

Éric Gauthier is a high school science teacher who loves to invent all sorts of new classroom contraptions for every possible educational occasion. Having grown up on a small farm as the youngest (and smallest) of four siblings, he has learned at a very young age to level the prank-playing field with his ability for engineering, sciences, and his vast imagination.

From a treadmill powered phone charger to a multi-laser dark class maze, this MacGyver-like teacher will literally walk you through some of his ideas and insights. Éric has spent the last 25 years not only teaching the design process to his students, but using it as part of his own ongoing professional development. His class is his lab and workshop, and his students are his field operatives and partners. Together, they go on a journey to discover the magnificent world of science, and there’s never any telling where they’ll end up!

In conversation with Nikita Boodoo
Tuesday, December 6, 2022: 5:00 - 6:00 pm


Leanne OliverNikita Boodoo teaches Grade 9-12 French at North Albion Collegiate Institute. She is also the ACL of Digital Relations and Library. Nikita was one of the recipients of the 2022 OTIP Teaching Awards in the Beginning Teachers category. Over 20 of her students came together to nominate Nikita for this teaching award. Her students describe, “Mrs. Boodoo is not just a teacher, she supports us in learning. We know we are the heart of the classroom; every activity and lesson are led by students with Mrs. Boodoo facilitating on the sidelines.” Many of her students describe typically feeling nervous in French classes, but attest the teaching activities, the care and patience she displays have helped them gain confidence in learning a new language. Nikita uplifts not just her students, but everyone who walks through the hallways at her school. She supports her colleagues by creating video tutorials and guides on new grading tools, assessment practices, hybrid learning strategies, ideas for celebrating student success, and other innovative resources to support her fellow teachers. Former students and even those she has never taught are known to drop by her classroom for a warm smile and funny stories. During this webinar, Nikita will share the triumphs and challenges encountered in her French classroom.
