Statement of Purpose
The Faculty of Education prepares students to assume leadership roles in education. Graduates are ready to begin a professional
career and to broaden and deepen their professional expertise through continuing study. Through a sequence of educational
experiences integrating theory and practice, the faculty and its partners in education provide opportunities for the academic and
professional development of teachers, guidance personnel, and administrators at all levels in public school systems, community
colleges, and other learning environments. Students acquire the knowledge, ethical standards, skills, dispositions, and flexibility
needed to address current problems in education both creatively and effectively, and to think critically about professional practice.
In all its work, the Faculty seeks to prepare educators who understand the past, delight in the challenges of the present, and look
optimistically to the future.
Students have access to centres in the Faculty which provide teaching, research, and educational services to schools and
communities. These include centres established for the study of First Nations education, early childhood education, mathematics
education, second language learning, and social studies education.
Degrees in Education
The BEd degree is awarded upon successful completion of 60 credit hours of study in Education, following another Bachelor's
degree. There are three program streams that may be followed:
3|Page

School Years Pattern (information follows)
Bachelor of Education for First Nations Students
Bachelor of Education in Adult Education
Please Note: In order to qualify for a level 5 New Brunswick teaching license, a minimum combined total of 168 credit hours is
required between the two degrees. Students entering the school years pattern will be accepted into one of the following:
Program Option 1: Early Years/Elementary

Program Option 2: SecondaryStudents must apply in writing to the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies to change
programs.
General Information

All students wishing to follow degree credit programs in Education must obtain permission to enrol from the Admissions Office of
the University. Students pursuing the School Years Pattern will only be able to commence study in the Faculty in late August. Please
refer to Section B of this calendar for more information on Admission requirements.
Those wishing to follow a graduate studies program should write to the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies.
Students who have completed some education course work within their previous Bachelor’s program, may apply for substitution
credit toward the Education program. Courses taken before admission will not necessarily be accepted for degree substitution.
Graduates of the BEd program are pursuing careers in education in many jurisdictions in Canada, the United States, and in other
parts of the world. Students who successfully complete the school years requirements, are eligible to apply for a New Brunswick
teacher's licence. This licence is recognized by other Canadian Provinces and most US states. Nevertheless, students should ensure
that the specific programs they are following will qualify them for teacher certification in the province, state or country where they
hope to work.
4|Page
2013-2014 Calendar Proof
Note: The Province of New Brunswick Teacher Certification Regulations under the Education Act states that only Canadian citizens or
those holding landed immigrant status or a work visa are eligible for teacher certification in the Province of New Brunswick.

requirements), must provide evidence of a Police Background Check. Students are responsible, at their own expense, to provide
evidence of the Police Background Check to the Faculty of Education upon acceptance into the program. Documentation outlining
the need for the background check, required by law enforcement agencies in many jurisdictions, will accompany the offer of
admission from the Admissions Office.

Schools and/or School Districts are not required to accept or maintain intern placements.

2013-2014 Calendar Proof
c. Students are responsible for all travel and living expenses incurred during the practicum.
d. Students who have failed the practicum (that is, received a grade of NCR) are required to wait one academic term before applying

the above points. In all such cases, there is no obligation on the part of the Faculty of Education, through the Dean of Education and
the Field Services Committee, to grant students a chance to make a further attempt at the practicum. In cases where the Dean of
Education and the Field Services Committee deny a student a chance to make a further attempt at the practicum, the student will be
required to withdraw from the Faculty of Education.Students wishing to be placed in a French Immersion classroom for their
practicum must meet the minimum Oral Proficiency requirements of the School District.

practicum by the Faculty of Education or a School District and/or a School in the New Brunswick public school system may be
