2003-2004 Undergraduate Calendar

The Department of Physical Education and Kinesiology and the Faculty of Education co-operate in offering a concurrent five-year program combining a BPhEd (Honours) degree with a BEd for students interested in teaching at the Primary/Junior level (grades K-6).

Students in the program must be registered full-time and follow the prescribed program. Any exceptions must have the approval of the Director. Students must maintain a 75 percent overall average each year in all academic grade-marked courses.

Application forms for the BPhEd/BEd program are available from the Concurrent Education Programs office from April 1. The forms must be completed and returned to the office by June 1. Late applications may be considered. Students in the BPhEd/BEd program should consult the Director regarding program requirements and continuance in the program. Students are strongly recommended to take an emergency First Aid/CPR course.

Because the BPhEd/BEd program integrates teacher education courses with academic courses, the student should note that the Pre-service Education courses are credited toward the BEd while the remaining courses are credited to the BPhEd. For this reason, a student who transfers out of the BPhEd/BEd program may not have credit in Pre-service Education courses applied to an undergraduate degree. Students should note that credits for the concurrent BPhEd/BEd program are not evenly distributed between the years because of the structure of Education courses. Students are responsible to note Calendar and scheduling differences between the Undergraduate and Pre-service departments.

Successful graduates of the program will receive a Bachelor of Physical Education honours degree and a Bachelor of Education degree.The Department of Physical Education and Kinesiology has applied for accreditation through the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Adminis-trators (CCUPEKA). Upon successful completion of a teacher education program, teacher candidates are normally recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for membership and to receive their Ontario Certificate of Qualification. In addition to successful completion of a Teacher Education Program, teacher candidates will be required by the Ministry of Education of Ontario to pass an Ontario Teacher Qualifying test.

Ontario College of Teachers Criminal Records Screening Policy

1.	The Ontario College of Teachers requires both a criminal record check and a criminal record declaration by the applicant as necessary components of registration for new applicants.
2.	The costs associated with the provision of the criminal record check and any appeals are to be borne by the applicant.
3.	All positive reports of criminal offences will be examined by the Ontario College of Teachers Registrar to determine whether the record of offence(s) is relevant to the applicant's honesty, integrity and/or suitability to practise the profession and whether the offence(s) constitute reasonable grounds for refusal to issue a certificate of qualification and registration, or to impose terms, conditions or limitations on registration, in accordance with Section 18(2) of the Ontario College of Teachers Act.
4.	Applicants for registration by the Ontario College of Teachers will be advised of the reasons for the decisions of the Ontario College of Teachers Registrar to refuse certification or to impose terms, conditions or limitations and that appeals to these decisions will be determined in accordance with Part III of the Ontario College of Teachers Act.
	Questions regarding the policy should be directed to the Ontario College of Teachers.

Admissions

Students must complete the common first year in the Physical Education and Kinesiology program before applying for admission to the BPhEd(Honours)/BEd program. Admission will be based on a minimum of 75 percent overall average on a minimum of five credits and a minimum grade of 70 percent in both PEKN 1P90 and 1P93.

In addition, a letter of interest/experience, references and an interview may be used to determine eligibility to enter the program. Students should note that this is a limited enrolment program and admission is not guaranteed by attainment of the minimum requirements.
