Program Standards

The Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development oversees the development and the review
of standards for programs of instruction. Each college is required to ensure that its programs and
program delivery are consistent with these standards, and must assist students to achieve these
essential outcomes.

This course contributes to Program Standards as defined by the Ministry of Advanced Education and
Skills Development (MAESD). Program standards apply to all similar programs of instruction offered by
colleges across the province. Each program standard for a postsecondary program includes the
following elements:

Vocational standards (the vocationally specific learning outcomes which apply to the program
of instruction in question);
Essential employability skills (the essential employability skills learning outcomes which apply
to all programs of instruction); and

General education requirement (the requirement for general education in postsecondary


programs of instruction that contribute to the development of citizens who are conscious of
the diversity, complexity and richness of the human experience; and, the society in which they
live and work).

Collectively, these elements outline the essential skills and knowledge that a student must reliably
demonstrate in order to graduate from the program. For further information on the standards for your
program, follow the MAESD link (www.tcu.gov.on.ca/pepg/audiences/colleges/progstan/)

Outcome

Form B is an ongoing reflective summary of what the student


has done at their placement site. Students need to prepare
weekly anecdotal comments for each of the sections on this
form and update the tasks and experiences as they are
completed, and as they apply to each of the sections. Students
will need to use their textbook, (Curtis, D., & Carter, M. (2017). Week 3 and

Framework for Reflective Teachers) as a guide in this process. *Mandatory
Practical application in the field with regard to these concepts Component
must be reflected and shared with Host Educator and
documented on Form B. Poor descriptive work will be seen as
lack of commitment to the learning process and part of the
student's overall placement evaluation.

MID TERM Evaluation (College Evaluator checks in with Host


Educator): The Mid term evaluation is emailed to the Host
Educator from the College Evaluator in Week 3. The Host
Educator and College Evaluator will collaborate on student
progress "to date" in Field Placement up to the end of Week 4.
Once completed, the Host Educator and College Evaluator will
follow up and share the results with the student. Students Week 4 1-9 P/F
whose progress is considered "at risk" and or "emerging" at
Midterm will receive a learning contract with timelines to meet
successful learning outcomes, if possible.

FINAL EVALUATION (Student Self Evaluation and Host


Educator Final) : Criteria and elements of the Final Evaluation
can be found in the Field Placement Handbook and on the
Course page. The Student Final Self Evaluation Form must be
completed and presented to the Host Educator and submitted in
D2L drop box for the College Evaluator in Week 6. Students are
required to download the Final Evaluation Form (e mail or print Week 7 1-9 P/F
off) for their Host Educator in Week 6 for final completion in
Week 7. Scan and submit it to the drop box for your College
Evaluator, not later than the deadline in Week 7.

1. NAMETAGS: Students are required to purchase an ECE name tag at the Fleming College
bookstore, if they do not have one. A Fleming College ECE student template will be provided
for you to insert into the nametag. Identifying yourself as a Fleming College ECE student with a
name tag is mandatory. Failure to do so, may put your placement at risk.

2. WEEKLY MEETINGS/PROFESSIONAL REVIEW: Weekly meetings with the Host Educator are
required to ensure students receive adequate support. Failure to submit required
documentation as outlined in the Field Handbook, within the weekly deadline set by each
College Evaluator will put students at risk of a failing grade on the Professional Review. NOTE:

support their understanding of the Ontario Kindergarten Program and Four Frames of Learning.
3. Mandatory PASS Components: . The Professional Review is a mandatory pass in Week 4 and

occur, unless it is deemed necessary by the Host Educator, Host Site Supervisor or College
Evaluator. The final grade for the FLPL59 Placement is assigned by the College Evaluator in
consultation with the Host Educator. A MANDATORY PASS (AT MID TERM AND FINAL) on
the Professional Review is required for successful completion of the FLPL59 placement.

Prior Learning and Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)

PLAR uses tools to help learners reflect on, identify, articulate, and demonstrate past learning which
has been acquired through study, work and other life experiences and which is not recognized through
formal transfer of credit mechanisms. PLAR options include authentic assessment activities designed
by faculty that may include challenge exams, portfolio presentations, interviews, and written
assignments. Learners may also be encouraged and supported to design an individual documentation
package that would meet the learning requirements of the course. Any student who wishes to have
any prior learning acquired through life and work experience assessed, so as to translate it into a
college credit, may initiate the process by applying through the Registrar's office. For more information
please click on the following link: http://flemingcollege.ca/admissions/prior-learning-assessment-
andrecognition

Course Specific Policies and Procedures

It is the responsibility of the student to retain this course outline for future reference. Course outlines
may be required to support applications for advanced standing and credit transfer to other educational
institutions, portfolio development, PLAR and accreditation with professional associations.

duration of the 7 week placement. Attendance at the placement site must be taken very
seriously. All absences must be recorded on the attendance tracking form with the reason for
the absence. "Make up days"should be scheduled to support student success in meeting the
learning outcomes of this course. In the event of Host Site closure (weather, stat holidays etc.)
"make up days" may be required at the discretion of the College Evaluator and/or Host Site to
ensure learning objectives are met by the student.
3. TRAVEL: Students will be required to travel to their placements. It is the responsibility of each
student to make his/her own travel arrangements and cover any additional transportation costs
as a result.
4. All assessments are due on their stated due date and time unless the student has made
specific arrangements with their College Evaluator and/or Host Educator. Make up
arrangements for missed assessments are normally not allowed. However, in the event of
documented illness or personal circumstances, which prohibit the student from completing the

basis by the College Evaluator/Host Educator. The purpose of this is to offer timely support
and mentoring for student growth and learning. If a student's progress is identified as
"emerging" it will be addressed early in the placement experience. At that time, a learning
contract will be developed by the College Evaluator to support the student's efforts in readily
initiating change in order to meet the learning outcomes.
8. Students have the responsibility to support academic honesty and integrity. Please see
Section 6 of the Academic Regulations (2 201) for policy surrounding Academic Integrity. This

based work such as note t aking and research only. This will be up to the discretion of
individual Host Site locations and discussed at the Orientation visit .
10. FLPL58/FLPL59 TAKEN CONSECUTIVELY: To ensure all students are knowledgeable in
current practice, and policy procedures for Field Placement, the FLPL58 Placement and the
FLPL59 placement must be taken consecutively, within the same semester.
11. Students are encouraged to keep the course outline and marked materials until a final course
grade is received at the end of the semester, or for the purposes of portfolio building and
transfer credits.
