    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 414 213 SO 027 418 AUTHOR Beardsley, Rick TITLE Preparing New Teachers for Teaching in a Multicultural Society: British Columbia. INSTITUTION British Columbia Teacher's Federation, Vancouver. PUB DATE 1992-11-00 NOTE 24p. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Canadian Studies; Elementary Secondary Education; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; *Minority Group Teachers; Minority Groups; *Multicultural Education; North American Culture; *Preservice Teacher Education; Social Studies; *Teacher Education IDENTIFIERS British Columbia ABSTRACT This paper uses the ethno-cultural composition of the Canadian population and the framework of multicultural policies as a springboard for examining how a democratic state prepares new teachers for teaching in a multicultural society. The education community has come to accept multiculturalism as a foundation of Canadian identity, although there are different levels of understanding and different organizational positions. All stakeholders in the British Columbia (Canada) educational system have agreed that the recruitment of visible minority students to teaching rather than specific program offerings in teacher education is one significant way to address multiculturalism and race relations in the public education system. The paper is divided into the following sections:(1) Introduction; (2) "Multicultural Composition of Canada and British Columbia"; (3) "Multiculturalism in Policy"; (4) "Multiculturalism in Social Studies Curriculum: British Columbia"; (5) "Multiculturalism and Pre-service Teacher Education in British Columbia"; and (6) Conclusion. Contains a 21-item bibliography, and an appendix with 3 charts and 6 graphs depicting the dimensions of the Canadian population complete the paper.

  • Religion and the State in the Canadian Interfaith Conference, 1965-1967
    God in the Centennial: Religion and the State in the Canadian Interfaith Conference, 1965-1967 GARY MIEDEMA “The experience of 100 years as a modern political state Canada, is as a milestone on our national journey,” spoke Peter Aykroyd to the assembled delegates. “Our passage up to and past that milestone is inexorable. We must prepare for the day when we will reach it. It cannot be moved. We cannot turn aside. It will not go away.” The group to which he spoke, he argued, was “in a position of influence . of power and of responsibility, of a kind not represented by any other Centennial group . and potentially exercisable to a degree not possible by secular oriented organizations.”1 So argued Aykroyd, Director of Public Relations for the Canadian Centennial Commission (CCC), to a unique audience indeed. From the po- dium, he looked out into the faces of representatives of 28 different faith groups in Canada, gathered on that day to discuss, plan and listen. Catholic bishops and Pentecostal laymen, Jewish rabbis and Muslim officials, fol- lowers of Ba’ha’u’lah and followers of Buddha all sat quietly, side by side, gathered as members of one organization: the Canadian Interfaith Conference (CIC). Begun in 1965, the CIC was established to plan for and encourage participation in Canada’s 1967 Centennial celebrations, without doubt the largest, most comprehensive, nationalist project in Canadian history. From a total of 24 different faith groups at its first meeting in July of 1965 the membership of the CIC grew to 28 by April 1966, and to 34 by its third and final meeting in 1967.
