Supporting immigrant students registered in a Teacher Education Program before and during their practicum
This paper presents results from a qualitative study regarding the opinions of four professors in a practicum supervisory role who have shared their experiences of accompanying immigrant students in training through a semi-structured interview. The role of the practicum supervisory professor, the process experienced by immigrant students in training, the challenges encountered, the specific needs of the students and the support provided will be presented in this paper. Implications for further research and for promoting practicum success and integration of these students in the profession will also be discussed.
