The Centre for Continuing Teacher Education offers a Bachelor of Education Specialist Program as a professional post certification degree that builds on the Three-Session Additional Qualification courses accredited by the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT). As well as additional qualification courses for teachers at both the St Catharines and Hamilton campus, with some selected courses offered in Mississauga and other Southern Ontario locations. This program does not lead to teacher certification in Ontario. Those interested in obtaining an Ontario Certificate of Qualification (OCQ) should consult the Department of Teacher
Education.
The Bachelor of Education Specialist Program is a professional degree option for teachers who already hold a Bachelor of Education Degree from an accredited university and are registered with the OCT as eligible to undertake Additional Qualification courses. The Bachelor of Education Specialist degree provides certified teachers with a second professional degree for the purposes of skills and career enhancement. For teachers certified in jurisdictions other than Ontario the Bachelor of Education Specialist Program provides an opportunity to obtain and demonstrate Ontario professional recognition and experience on their university transcript. The Bachelor of Education Specialist Program is based on Additional Qualification courses that go beyond initial Bachelor of Education degree preparation and provide opportunities and resources for in-depth research and study in the areas of teaching, learning and curriculum.
The BEd Program II is open to educators wishing to further their professional education beyond basic level in specialized areas. Although the program is designed specifically for candidates who already hold an undergraduate degree and certification to teach in Ontario, enquiries from those with an equivalent background are welcomed. Equivalence granted by the OCT will be accepted by the Centre for Continuing Teacher Education for entrance into any of our courses.
Under the condition noted in program requirements, candidates who hold an Ontario Teacher Certificate (OTC) or OCQ on admission to, have the appropriate prerequisites and who successfully complete specified courses, will be recommended to the OCT for additional qualifications recommendation.
Admissions
Candidates for the Bachelor of Education Specialist Program must hold a valid Bachelor of Education degree and must be registered with the OCT and certified to teach within the K-12 school system in Ontario. Advanced standing credits may be granted for Additional Qualification courses previously completed at Brock University within one year of admission to the program. Only one Bachelor of Education Specialist degree can be awarded as a post initial BEd degree.
Candidates for the Bachelor of Education Specialist Program must provide official transcripts indicating completion of a recognized Bachelor of Education degree or a valid teaching certificate recognized by the OCT. Official transcripts must be original copies not photocopied and must be mailed to the Office of the Registrar, Brock University attention Teacher In-Service Education.
Candidates in the Bachelor of Education Specialist program must complete all degree requirements within seven years of the date of admission and maintain an 80 percent overall average in order to be recommended for graduation by Brock University. Only courses taken at Brock University will be included in the calculation of averages.
Candidates for the BEd Program II must be certified to teach in Ontario and must hold an undergraduate degree acceptable to Brock.
All candidates admitted to the BEd Program II should note:
1. |
Recommendation to the OCT may not be dependent on completing the total requirement for the BEd degree. |
2. |
EDUC courses numbered 9(alpha)00 and above may not be used for initial basic certification purposes. |
Advanced Standing
Candidates for admission to Program II may be granted advanced standing in one credit at the time of initial application. Advanced standing is for Brock BEd credit only. Candidates are requested to contact the Ontario College of Teachers if they believe their academic background is equivalent to a Brock Additional Qualifications course. Advanced standing will be based on the relationship between work already completed and the content of courses required for the Brock degree. Advanced standing will not be granted on the basis of courses credited towards a completed degree or diploma unless such courses have been taken as electives beyond the minimum requirement for the degree or diploma. Students who completed Continuing Teacher Education courses prior to June 30, 1979, cannot count these courses toward the BEd Program II degree. For further information, contact the Director of the Centre for Continuing Teacher Education.
The University has been advised that the Qualifications Evaluation Council of Ontario (QECO) normally accepts each course in the BEd Program II as either a university credit or an OCT course credit depending upon how the individual wishes the course applied. However, the University cannot guarantee the applicability of any specific course to QECO insofar as salary evaluation is concerned. Students who have concerns in this regard should contact QECO directly.
Where provincial regulations require documentation of qualifications (i.e., experience, specialized employment), it is the responsibility of the student to provide this documentation to the Director of the Centre for the office of the registrar. Documentation must be completed before any recommendation can be made to the OCT.
Program Requirements
All Continuing Teacher Education courses have minimum and maximum enrolments. Courses with enrolments of fewer than 20 students may be cancelled. Candidates are encouraged to apply early. For further information and details of BEd Program II requirements, candidates should consult the Director of the Centre for Continuing Teacher Education.
