2002-2003 Undergraduate Calendar

The Centre for Adult Studies and Distance Learning offers a B.Ed. in Adult Education and a certificate in Adult Education both of which offer an Aboriginal stream.

Each option is designed to provide an opportunity to enhance the abilities of individuals working with, or aspiring to work with, adult populations to deliver educational services consistent with the needs of the adult in a variety of educational/training contexts.

The Adult Education Aboriginal stream recognizes Aboriginal learning preferences and cultural diversity. This communitybased curriculum model relies on qualified local Aboriginal educators for facilitation and Elders for guidance during course and program delivery.

The BEd in Adult Education degree program does not lead to an Ontario Certificate of Qualification. Those interested in a teaching career in Ontario are advised to refer to the Ontario College of Teachers Act 1966 and (Regulation 18/97 Teachers Qualifications) with respect to teachable subjects, definitions, basic qualifications and regulations.

Courses are offered in a facilitated learning cohort model, face-to-face at venues across the province, and on-line. For further information contact co-ordinator.

To meet candidates' needs, three application routes are available.
