Practicum information

All students in the Faculty of Education are required to complete four courses of practicum during their degree. Here are the forms and resources you need to complete each stage of your practicum. 

Practicum Forms

This fillable form is completed by Teacher Candidates at the start of each practicum course. The completed form provides School Administration at your practicum school with information about the experiences you are hoping to have during practicum.

Practicum Week One Plan
This plan identifies the specific information Teacher Candidates need to gather about their practicum school. TCs gather this information in the first week of school (for practicum courses in the Fall term).

Professional Learning Plan (PLP) P2/P3/P4
This fillable form is completed by P2, P3 and P4 Teacher Candidates before beginning their practicum courses. The completed form provides a concise summary of a TCs strengths, challenges, and specific strategies for continued growth.

Formative Report (PDF)
The Formative Report form is completed by the Practicum Advisor (PA). Formative evaluation is an opportunity to provide the Teacher Candidate (TC) with support and feedback on their professional development.

Summative Evaluation of Practicum (Fillable PDF)

This fillable form is completed by Practicum Advisors in consultation with the Teacher Candidate and Mentor Teacher(s). The completed form is an evaluation of the TCs progress toward satisfying the practicum expectations for the course.  

Notification of Concern (PDF)

The completed form specifies areas of concern in the practicum, steps that must be taken to address those concerns, and a timeline for making adequate progress.

Information Regarding Self-Declaration and Other Documents

To register for courses in the 2024-2025 academic year, all students must provide:

  • A Child Abuse Registry & Statement of Criminal Record(s) Self-Declaration form

In addition, newly admitted students must provide the following documents:

  • Clearance on a formal Canadian Criminal Records Check (CRC), including vulnerable sector (VS) screening
  • Clearance on a formal Child Abuse Registry Self Check (CAR)

For 2024 we will permit scanned and emailed Self Declaration forms. CRC and CAR must be originals.

The CAR and CRC documents are important required documents for professional studies in Education, as per your provisional admission offer. Therefore, you will not be permitted to register until these documents are cleared.

See details below for information specific to new and continuing students.

Self-declaration and record checks for newly admitted students

All newly admitted students must submit:

  • A Child Abuse Registry & Statement of Criminal Record(s) Self-Declaration form 
  • Clearance on a formal Criminal Records Check (CRC), including vulnerable sector (VS) screening
  • Clearance on a formal Child Abuse Registry Check (CAR)

All the above documents must be dated as of March 15, 2024 or later. Forms dated prior to March 15, 2024 are stale-dated and are not acceptable.

These admission documents are subject to the same rules as other admission documents. Your admission could be revoked if you do not provide them in time to register for the term.

You must submit your forms no later than June 30 to be able to register for the Fall Term.  Acquiring these checks can be a lengthy process, so we strongly recommend you act on this immediately if you have not already done so.

Self Declaration Form

Print the Self-Declaration form, scan and return via email to:
lisa.maharaj@umanitoba.ca
Include the subject line: 2024 Self Declaration Form

Child Abuse Registry Self-Check

Visit the Manitoba Child Abuse Registry for their online application option.

Criminal Record Check (VS screening)

For students living in Winnipeg

Visit the Winnipeg Police Services police record checks for their online application. (This must include Vulnerable Sector screening. Do not use non-police force service.)

For students living in Manitoba outside of Winnipeg

Please contact your law enforcement agency (RCMP, Brandon City Police, Ste. Anne Police, etc.) to request a CRC (with Vulnerable Sector Screening).

For students living outside Manitoba

Please contact your law enforcement agency (Vancouver Police Department, Edmonton Police Service, RCMP, OPP, etc). The Criminal Record Check (including Vulnerable Sector screening) must be issued by Canadian authority.

Please mail originals (excluding WPS online submission) of your forms to:

Faculty of Education – Admissions Coordinator
Student Services
Room 203 - Education Building
University of Manitoba
Winnipeg, Manitoba   R3T 2N2

All originals will be returned to the student. As these are legal documents, we are unable to provide you with a photocopy of our copy at a later date.

Self-declaration for continuing students

Continuing students include all students who were admitted to the B.Ed program before the current year and are continuing in or returning to studies.

The Faculty of Education requires continuing students to submit a Self-Declaration (continuing students) form prior to course registration in each academic year. You must submit your forms before you can register for the Fall Term.  The optimal date for submitting them is no later than June 30*.

A hold will appear on your Aurora Student account if you have not yet submitted this form.

* Although you can still register after the initial registration date(s), your selection of courses may be limited.

Print the Self-Declaration form, scan and return via email to:
lisa.maharaj@umanitoba.ca
Include the subject line: 2024 Self Declaration Form

In addition, you may be asked by school divisions for an official, current Child Abuse Registry check for all persons working or volunteering in their schools. They may also require a full Criminal Records Check.

Therefore, we are encouraging all continuing students to be prepared to provide the necessary documentation should it be requested by school administrators prior to beginning of your practicum.
