2.1 ECE Field Practicum Roles and Responsibilities

The Field Practicum experience is an integral part of the Early Childhood Education Diploma Program. It is the opportunity for an ECE Student to connect theory to practice in a variety of Early Year settings. It also provides the ECE Student resources and mentorship so they can learn and develop entry-level skills to become a quality Early Childhood Educator.

The Field Practicum Field Placement is a collaborative early years experience that includes a partnership with a Field Practicum Agency Mentor, Fanshawe College Faculty Advisor, and Early Childhood Education Student. The Field Practicum Partnership has the responsibility to collaborate, support, guide, and provide an opportunity for a successful early childhood education field placement.
