WHAT WILL I BE ASKED TO DO? You are invited to participate in this study conducted by Dr. Stephanie Arnott and Dr. Mimi Masson of the Faculty of Education, University of Ottawa and Dr. Gail Prasad of the Faculty of Education, York University. The project is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Education. Your participation consists of completing an online survey answering questions on your language proficiency, teaching practices and beliefs about teachers’ collaboration. Your responses will assist us in learning more about FSL teacher candidates’ profiles as they enter the teacher education program.
WHY DO THIS? Taking part in the survey is a chance for you to self-reflect on your entry profile into the teacher education program. Your voice and perspective will inform the ongoing development of FSL teacher education in Ontario. The survey should take no more than 20 minutes to fill out. You will have a two-week window to complete the survey.
