In this article, I draw on self-study  \n(Kitchen et al., 2020) to examine and share my experiences as a  \nPracticum Advisor tasked to design and deliver a four-week virtual  \npracticum program for 30 teacher candidates, without access to high  \nschool classrooms. I reflect on how my rural teacher and researcher  \nselves informed my practicum design in one of Canada’s largest  \nurban faculties of education, including teacher candidates’  \ndevelopment of data portraits based on one rural case study high  \nschool. A virtual adapted practicum presented me with a narrow  \nopening, in an otherwise urban-dominant curriculum, to expand  \nteacher candidates’ gaze beyond the metropolis.  \nIntroduction  \nThe Master of Teaching (MT) Program in the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto leads to a graduate level degree and recommendation for teacher certification in the province of Ontario (Canada) . As with many faculties of education across the country, the MT Program fully transitioned its classes to virtual teaching and learning in the spring of 2020 because of health restrictions imposed by COVID-19. Many school boards in the province were in tumult with staffing shortages and there was considerable movement between face-to-face and virtual student enrollments across schools. Owing to our pandemic circumstances, it was not possible to secure school-based practicum experiences, in-person or virtual, for all MT teacher candidates (TCs) in the fall of 2020 . The pandemic shift posed significant challenges and opportunities to how the Program planned practicum experiences for its preservice teachers.  \nIn this article, I utilize self-study (Kitchen at al., 2020) to share and reflect on my experience as a teacher educator tasked to develop and implement a fully virtual, four-week adapted practicum for 30 Intermediate-Senior (Grades 7-12) TCs. Self-study is a reflexive endeavor that aims to improve teacher education through intentional inquiry to yield knowledge about practice (Ikpeze, 2019) . I found myself at an extraordinary moment in my education career with an opportunity to redefine the professional experience. The main question guiding my selfstudy asked: What am I learning about the possibilities of a virtual adapted practicum to support urban-oriented teacher candidates to experience rural schooling? The goal of this article is to explore what I understood about my capacity – as a rural education practitioner and researcher  \nworking in an urban faculty of education – to shape alternative approaches to practicum, given the virtual opportunities created by the pandemic.  \nI begin with a brief review o","cbCaicMXFyGu4UhE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicMXFyGu4UhE","pdf",388110,17,"English","# Introduction\n# Literature Review: Practicum (Practice) in Teacher Education","[{\"question\":\"Why was a virtual adapted practicum introduced in fall 2020?\",\"answer\":\"COVID-19 institutional impacts made it impossible to secure school-based practicum experiences for all teacher candidates, prompting a fully virtual, four-week adapted practicum.\"},{\"question\":\"What methodology guides the article’s reflection?\",\"answer\":\"The article uses self-study to intentionally inquire into and share experiences related to teacher education practices.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the author support teacher candidates’ learning during the virtual practicum?\",\"answer\":\"Teacher candidates developed data portraits based on one rural case-study high school as part of instructional design habits and learning about rural schooling.\"}]","Supporting Urban-Oriented Teacher Candidates to Value Rural Schooling - The Story of a Virtual Adapted Practicum | PDF",1792078405,43]
