The Department of Teacher Education offers three programs of study at the St. Catharines and Hamilton campuses for candidates interested in teaching Primary/Junior (grades K-6), Junior/Intermediate (grades 4-10) and Intermediate/Senior (grades 7-12). Field placements for the Junior/Intermediate program will normally be made in grades 4-8. Field placements for the Intermediate/Senior program will normally be made in grades 9-12.

In addition, the Department of Teacher Education co-operates with other departments in offering concurrent programs leading to the conferring of a BA (Honours)/BEd (Intermediate/Senior), BA Child and Youth Studies (Honours)/BEd (Primary/Junior), BA Integrated Studies (Honours)/BEd (Junior/Intermediate), BPhEd (Honours)/BEd (Intermediate/Senior), BPhEd (Honours)/BEd (Junior/Intermediate), BSc (Honours)/BEd (Intermediate/Senior) and BSc Integrated Studies (Honours)/BEd (Junior/Intermediate).

Teacher Education programs are field oriented and are based on an approach unique in Ontario. Much of the orientation to and instruction in professional practice takes place through supervised cohorts of teacher candidates in schools throughout the Niagara Peninsula and the regions of Hamilton Wentworth, Haldimand-Brant, Halton and Peel. Transportation to required off-campus courses, professional development events and schools is the responsibility of the teacher candidate. Candidates who are accepted into the BEd program to teach in secondary schools are assigned to work with specialized subject area instructors from secondary schools.

The Department of Teacher Education reserves the right to assign Concurrent Education students in their final year to either the Hamilton or St. Catharines campus in order to secure school placements aligned with teachable subjects.

Upon acceptance into the program, applicants must complete a satisfactory Police record check with a vulnerable sector screening. School Boards require teacher candidates to complete this background screening prior to having direct contact with students. Otherwise schools will not allow teacher candidates to participate in practice teaching. In addition, the Ontario College of Teacher's requires a separate Police record check before certification.

The Teacher Education program is organized subject to the requirements of Brock University and outside regulatory organizations that govern teacher education in Ontario (e.g. the Ontario College of Teachers). The program requirements for the Teacher Education program may change in order to meet the outside regulatory requirements.

Teacher candidates who have successfully completed all required courses in the program for a BEd will normally be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for an Ontario Certificate of Qualification.

An essential part of the Teacher Education program takes place in schools with at least 80 days of observation and teaching. When performance in the practicum placement is regarded as inadequate, the teacher candidate will be assessed by the Co-ordinator of Practice Teaching or designate. That assessment will determine eligibility to proceed. Where performance so warrants, and in the interest of the pupils' welfare, the Faculty will not place a teacher candidate in a classroom or will remove a teacher candidate from the classroom.

All teacher candidates are advised to refer to the policies and procedures in the Teacher Candidate Handbook.

For further information regarding the Department of Teacher Education programs, candidates should contact the Chair, Department of Teacher Education.

Those interested in a teaching career in Ontario are advised to refer to the Ontario College of Teachers Act 1996 and (Regulation 176/10 Teachers Qualifications) with respect to teachable subjects, definitions, basic qualifications and regulations.

Bachelor of Education and Early Childhood Education

The Bachelor of Education and Early Childhood Education (BEd/ECE) program provides students with insight in the Early Learning Kindergarten Program (ELKP) that is child-centred, developmentally appropriate and play/inquiry-based. The program will also highlight the collaborative teaching relation between the certified teacher and early childhood educator.

In the first year of the program, students will complete the required Bachelor of Education (BEd) courses that lead to teaching certification at the Primary/Junior level. In the second year of the program, students will complete an additional set of the ECE courses offered by Niagara College. Enrolment is limited.

Students who successfully complete the requirements for this program will be granted both a BEd with certification at the Primary/Junior level from Brock and an ECE diploma from Niagara College.

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 practice 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 OCT 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

Candidates are expected to have some experience working with children and youth of the age group in the program for which they are applying.

Enrolment in the Teacher Education program is limited to approximately 650 positions for both concurrent and consecutive programs. Applicants for the consecutive year program for the Primary/Junior, Junior/Intermediate and Intermediate/Senior divisions must have completed the requirements for a Bachelor's Degree acceptable to Brock prior to the beginning of classes in September. Selection is based on the academic average of the best 10 undergraduate degree credits and on experience as submitted on the Brock Experience Profile Form. The Experience Profile should include two experiences of a minimum of 100 hours each. Only candidates with a minimum B average (70 percent at Brock) on their top 10 credits will be considered. Because the Experience Profile is a significant part of the selection process, applicants should complete the form with care. For applicants to the consecutive year Intermediate/Senior Technological Education program, selection is based on a combination of academics, competency in skilled, work-related experience and the Brock Experience Profile Form.

Applications are available from the Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC) at ouac.on.ca/teas and must be received by the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) by the date specified in the OUAC TEAS application form, to be considered for admission to the program. All supporting documentation (a university transcript and Experience Profile) must be received at the Registrar's Office, Brock University, by the date specified in the OUAC application form. Only information received by those dates will be considered part of the admission file.

Applicants who are not Canadian citizens or landed immigrants may be admitted to the program for a BEd degree. Such persons are eligible for an Ontario Certificate of Qualification where they show evidence of authorization to work as a teacher in Canada. Such persons receive a Certificate of Qualification (Limited/Restricted), (Ont. Reg. 184).

Because of the highly integrated nature of the program, candidates who have preregistered must be present for the beginning of program activities.

In addition to the general requirements, candidates for the BEd and certification to teach in Ontario must submit the following:
1.  a certificate of birth or baptism, or other acceptable proof of the date and place of birth;
2.  a certificate of change of name where applicable;
3.  be able to demonstrate an acceptable level of fluency and accuracy in spoken and written English; and/or attend an interview and/or submit a written résumé requested;
