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 2011-2012 Calendar Proof 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: 1. Program Option 1: Early Years/Elementary 2. 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. 2011-2012 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.
