Description:

Cooperative Education is a method of learning which blends in-school instruction with out-of-school work experiences in cooperation with organizations and institutions in the community. Part I is designed for teachers who wish to acquire the management and organizational techniques necessary to involve their classes in such ventures. Topics in the course include an historical overview of Cooperative Education (with particular attention to Ministry of Education and Training policies and guidelines), the development of consulting and monitoring skills, an examination of legal and ethical practices of Cooperative Education and a study of the psychology and sociology of work. Also to be examined is the design of classroom-based, Cooperative Education programs. Successful students will be recommended for the Ontario College of Teachers additional qualification CO-OP ED-1.
