The Teacher Education program is offered full-time over three consecutive terms. The Spring-Summer term provides a strong foundation through teaching methods, curriculum, and educational studies courses that prepare teacher candidates for classroom practice. Teacher candidates begin developing practical teaching skills early in the program through subject-specific pedagogy courses aligned with the divisions in which they are being prepared to teach. During the Fall and Winter terms, teacher candidates complete two practicum placements while continuing their academic coursework, allowing them to progressively integrate theory and practice in authentic school settings.
The program addresses contemporary realities of Ontario schools throughout the program, including courses such as Classroom Dynamics and Inclusion; First Nations, Metis and Inuit Histories and Perspectives on Schooling; Schooling and Society, and Critical Digital Practices in Classrooms. Professional growth is supported throughout the program by Becoming a Teacher Through Inquiry in Practice, a three-term course that promotes reflection, inquiry, and the development of professional identity.
