The Tecumseh Centre for Aboriginal Research and Education offers a Bachelor of Education in Aboriginal Adult and a Bachelor of Education degree for students interested in teaching at the Primary/Junior level (grades K-6).

The program incorporates Aboriginal learning preferences and cultural diversity. This community-based curriculum model relies on qualified local Aboriginal educators to facilitate the learner's educational journey. Courses are offered in a facilitated learning cohort model, face-to-face at locations across the province.

Successful graduates will receive a Bachelor of Education in Aboriginal Adult Education degree and a Bachelor of Education degree. 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.

For further information contact the Co-ordinator.
