WRKE-2025Work Practicum 2
Contributing to community is one of the six values of Red River College.
This practicum provides an opportunity for students to serve a school
division in a non-paid capacity. Students are expected to synthesize the
knowledge, skills, and competencies they are developing in the program
to meet specific meaningful needs of the classroom/community partner.
This practicum challenges students to apply real world critical
thinking, self-assessment and reflection, communication in both
languages, problem-solving, leadership and teamwork skills. Practicum
outcomes are individualized for each student in partnership with the
school or community partner to help define the student's role and
responsibilities. The first Year 1 placement focuses on acquiring
Anishinaabemon language in the context of culture and history to provide
students with the opportunity to further develop knowledge, skills, and
competencies needed for success in speaking, listening, reading and
writing the Ojibwe language. Students also learn to apply both
Indigenous and contemporary teaching and learning models using
culturally appropriate resources, activities, and assessments in a
variety of classroom and community contexts. The substantial hours in
the workplace provide opportunities to improve both languages in a
variety of contexts.
