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.

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.

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

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

Practicum placements are evaluated on a pass/fail basis. If an intern is removed from his/her practicum by the Faculty of Education, or a School District and/or a School, or their practicum performance does not meet expectations a grade of NCR will be assigned. b.

In their field experiences students participate in teaching and learning activities in an educational setting approved by the Faculty. Responsibility for arranging student teaching placements, throughout the province of New Brunswick, rests within the

Faculty of Education. Students must not attempt to arrange their own practicum school placements. The Faculty of Education will attempt to secure one practicum placement for each student. 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 to the Faculty of Education for an opportunity to make a further attempt at the practicum.

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. 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.

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. g.

Any appeal with regard to reciept of a grade of NCR on the practicum must follow the

University appeal policiies. (See Section B, III, Item L: Review of Grades.) h.

Students who do not complete the practicum for reasons other than receiving a grade of NCR 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.

High school graduates.

2.

Students with Grade 11 who have been out of school for at least 3 years.

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.
