SWU/SU 2019 Cohort Teaching Practicum at Walkerville Collegiate Institute
From September to October of 2019, the Reciprocal Learning Teacher Education Program (RLP) and the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB) placed five of our Southwest University (SWU) and Soochow University (SU) 2019 Cohort teacher candidates to complete their four-week high school practicum at Walkerville Collegiate Institute. Mrs. Theresa Williams, principal of Walkerville, and her excellent team provided our SWU/SU teacher candidates with a memorable experience in the Canadian high school classrooms. As the teacher candidates observed the teaching styles and methods of their associate teachers, they were also inquisitive with new ideas and questions, which the teachers of Walkerville were happy to answer. The teacher candidates were overjoyed with the number of classes that they had the opportunity to observe such as, but not limited to: English classes, cooking classes, dance classes, biology classes, geography classes, history classes, math classes and art classes. The students stated that although Canada and China are different countries, all teachers seem to have a global vision that is open to learn from each other and draw on their respective strengths, ultimately improving as educators.

SWU/SU 2019 Cohort Teaching Practicum at Westview Freedom Academy
The Reciprocal Learning Teacher Education Program (RLP) and the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB) placed five of our Southwest University (SWU) and Soochow University (SU) 2019 Cohort teacher candidates to complete their four-week high school practicum at Westview Freedom Academy from September to October 2019. The SWU/SU teacher candidates were presented with an amazing opportunity from Mr. Scaddan, the principal of Westview, and his team to observe, learn, and engage in Canadian high school classrooms. The teachers at Westview gave the teacher candidates an insight into differentiated instruction, special education and how to incorporate inclusivity in and out of the classroom. Our SWU/SU teacher candidates spoke highly of their learning experiences at Westview. They were impressed with how the teachers at Westview would model the elevated standard of teaching by their dedication and care they showed to every student. Additionally, the teacher candidates appreciated the kindness the teachers displayed towards understanding the differences between Canadian and Chinese cultures and welcoming them into their classrooms. The teacher candidates were delighted to have the chance to share China’s culture with Westview and practice their skills when delivering lessons to the students.
