Current summer projects (2012)


 

School community programs/networks

FACTSnet is involved in several school community programs. This year we are emphasizing the Social Studies program. We are looking to be involved in various activities related to the Alberta Social Studies program that your school or organizations your school has networks with. Some of our potential projects include a summer drop in program and a heritage project on the Grey Nuns. They are dependent on interest from students, teachers and parents.

We are open to working with other projects that reflect the goals and values of FACTSnet.

FACTSnet Practicum and Summer Jobs Program

In the FACTSnet practicum program, we try wherever possible to link future educators currently attending universities with schools and community organizations. (Note this is a pilot program, based on our network contacts and is not official policy of the university or school boards).  The aim is that, during education students' placement as student teachers, their mandatory "student projects" of both the Introductory Placement term (IPT), or Advanced Placement term (APT), will be linked to summer jobs, with FACTSnet community partners.

By doing this, the students will gain more knowledge into the educational world, as well as contribute to reaching the desired goals of school and community partners.

If you are an Education Student and will be going back to school next year and interested in a summer job, go to FACTSnet Summer Jobs 2013.  
 
If you are from a school or community organization and would like to partner with FACTSnet in the placement of Education Students, please email factsc@gmail.com




School - Community Programs/Networks

Schools and Community organizations participate together in FACTSnet projects, programs and networks.  In the summer community organizations hire students to work with schools during May and June and community organizations during July and August.  See FACTSnet Summer Programs 2012
