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, 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.
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.
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.

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. e.
Students wishing to be placed in a French Immersion classroom for their practicum must meet the minimum Oral Proficiency requirements of the School District. f.

The Faculty of Education offers a Bridging Year Program for First Nations students who are preparing for admission to a UNB degree program. Applications for the program are welcome from:
1.
High school graduates.
2.
Students with Grade 11 who have been out of school for at least 3 years.
3.
Mature students as defined in the UNB undergraduate Calendar.
Admissions are competitive. Satisfaction of the minimum criteria will not guarantee acceptance. The deadline for applications is March 31. Late applications can be considered only if spaces remain unfilled.
In their Bridging Year students register for four courses each term, at least one of which must be a university credit course (See Bridging Year courses in Section H of the Calendar). Course schedules are individually planned in consultation with the Faculty in which a student wishes to enrol the following year.
The maximum time permitted between the first registration and the completion of the Bridging Year in accordance with the regulations in effect at the time of first registration shall be two consecutive academic terms. Students who complete the Bridging Year with a minimum of 24 ch or the equivalent of 8 term courses and with a grade of CR in all BY courses and a GPA of 2.0 or higher in other courses will be guaranteed admission to the degree program for which the Bridging Year was designed.
Students who do not succeed in meeting these requirements will not be permitted to continue in the
Bridging Year program and will not be transferred to a degree program.
The Faculty of Education offers degree credit courses leading to a Certificate in Adult Education. The certificate program is open to individuals who have met normal admission requirements for the BEd.
The certificate requires a total of 36 ch. Consult the UNB Certificate Program Coordinator for a listing of appropriate courses.

This certificate is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to become effective teachers of French as a Second Language (FSL). The CTFSL requires successful completion of:
1.
ED 3562 , ED 4567 , ED 4075 (secondary stream)
OR
ED 4568 , ED 4569 , ED 4075 (elementary stream)
2.
A practicum in an FSL context (at least 50%)
3.

Eligibility
In order to be eligible to enroll in the CTFSL, candidates must be currently enrolled in a B.Ed. program and be completing a concentration in FSL.
Program Description
This Certificate Program is designed to provide participants with knowledge and skills necessary to become effective teachers of English as a second language (ESL). The CTESL requires successful completion of:
1.
Three compulsory courses: o ED 3561 - Introduction to Second Language Education o ED 4075 - Bilingualism and Education o ED 4562 - Advanced Studies in ESL Education
2.
One approved course in the area of language education, cultural studies or literacy, and
3.
Practicum in TESL ( ED 5566 or equivalent)
Eligibility
In order to be eligible to enroll in the CTESL, candidates must either have completed an undergraduate degree or be currently enrolled in a BEd program.
Candidates whose first language is not English must also demonstrate a high level of English language proficiency as evidenced by:
1.
A score of 600 or better on the TOEFL
2.
And a score of 55 or better on the TSE (Test of Spoken English)

Students enrolled in a BEd program may request that ED 5566 be waived if they have had equivalent practical experience in ESL education during their regular BEd teaching practicum. Recognition for any such equivalent experience must be approved in advance.
Note: Students wishing to obtain both the certificate in French Immersion Teaching and the
Certificate in Teaching English as a second language must take 12 ch of different courses. In other words, the same courses may not be applied to both certificates.
The Faculty of Education places students in school settings at the discretion of the public school system. Although the Faculty cannot guarantee a placement in that system, it will makes its best effort to find an initial placement for any student eligible for the practicum (subject to approval by the
University).
