BEd Education - Secondary

This program is a 16-month post-baccalaureate professional degree program. Apply your undergraduate degree with a teachable major or minor (such as English, math, chemistry, history, etc.) to teach Grade 8 – 12 students in B.C. schools.

Learn about the First Peoples Principles of Learning, Indigenous Education, inclusive practices, assessment and evaluation, Applied Design and Skills and Technology, and curriculum and instruction in different disciplinary areas or subject specialty.

Gain practical experience in the K-12 classroom throughout the 16-month program with four practicum experiences:

• Observational in Term 1
• Experiential in Term 2 (three weeks)
• Formative in the Spring Term (four weeks)
• Summative in the Fall (12 weeks)

Your practicum takes a gradual approach throughout the 16-month program in partnership with the coursework taken at the University. Practicum placements are typically situated in northern B.C. communities at B.C. public school districts or independent schools.

Graduating students will earn a Bachelor of Education (BEd) with the academic qualifications to apply for professional certification from the BC Teachers’ Council.
