FORM LETTER: PRACTICUM ASSIGNMENT
From: Manager
Adult Literacy and Continuing Education Department
Manitoba Ministry of Advanced Education and Training
To: Director, Adult Literacy
Program
The
bearer of this form letter is enrolled as a student on the Introduction
to Teaching Adult Literacy course. The course is offered
online by this department (you may confirm this at 1-800-282-8069,
ext 8247), and is a prerequisite for the ALL Level
1 certification program for practitioners and volunteers in
Manitoba.
In
that the course is offered online, there is a need for students
to gain experience in a face-to-face environment. Thus, students
are required to complete a practicum component, which involves
making contact and working with a program in his/her local area.
The
student is required to complete the following:
- Interview program staff
regarding your program mandate, services, expectations of
tutors and so on.
- Interview a beginning
learner about his/her background, goals, interests, and determine
the general level of literacy the individual is at in terms
of their reading and writing.
- Plan and two lessons involving
reading and writing activities that would be relevant to the
learner, and conduct them under the supervision of a staff
member
- Have the staff member
assess the tutor's performance using the Tutor Assessment
form.
It
would be greatly appreciated if you would allow this student
to complete his/her practicum assignment with your program.
Please do not hesitate to contact the department at the number
given above if you have any questions.
Thank
you,
A.
