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:
1. School Years Pattern (information follows)
2. Bachelor of Education for First Nations Students
3. 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: Secondary
Students 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
2014-2015 Calendar Proof
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.
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.
PREREQUISITES TO THE PROGRAM
To be admitted to courses in French second language education, students must possess a high level of
French competency. Students must provide evidence of this competency through a French oral
proficiency certificate with a minimum level of “Advanced” from the New Brunswick Department of
Post Secondary Education, Training and Labour.
The New Brunswick Department of Education requires that all BEd students entering schools (for
practicum or individual course 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.

Students who have failed the practicum (that is, received a grade of NCR) are required to wait
one academic term before applying to the Faculty of Education for an opportunity to make a
further attempt at the practicum. Students, in so applying to the Field Services Committee of
the Faculty of Education must establish that the factors causing the failure have changed and
that there is reason to presume that a further attempt at the practicum would be successful.
The request by a student to make a further attempt at the practicum must be submitted in
writing and must satisfy the Dean of Education and the Field Services Committee on both of
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.
To teach a school subject in the advanced block of the practicum in middle school or high
school a student must have a minimum of 9 credit hours of methods in the subject area.
Any appeal with regard to receipt of a grade of NCR on the practicum must follow the
University appeal policies. (See Section B, III, Item L: Review of Grades.)

and/or being removed from a practicum by the Faculty of Education or a School District and/or
a School in the New Brunswick public school system may be awarded a grade of incomplete
for the practicum. In such cases, the Faculty of Education shall work with the student to
attempt to arrange a subsequent placement for the student, recognizing always the limitation
to practicum placements set out in this regulation.

which meet program requirements. In these cases, alternate education courses must be successfully
completed to meet program requirements.
Re-registration
2014-2015 Calendar Proof
Students who have withdrawn from the Program must establish that the factors necessitating
withdrawal have changed and that there is reason to assume that a further attempt would be
successful. The request for re-registration must be submitted in writing and must satisfy the Dean of
