Office Assistant TBA 905-688-5550, extension 4226 Welch Hall 8A brocku.ca/childandyouthstudies The Department of Child and Youth Studies and the Faculty of Education co-operate in offering a concurrent six-year program combining an (Honours) Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree with a Bachelor of Education (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 Manager, Academic Advising, Professional and Undergraduate Programs and the Chair, Department of Teacher Education. Students must maintain a minimum 70 percent cumulative overall average each year in all academic grade-marked courses. Because the CHYS BA(Honours)/BEd program integrates teacher education courses with academic courses, the student should note that the Teacher Education courses are credited toward the BEd while the remaining courses are credited to the BA. For this reason, a student who transfers out of the CHYS BA(Honours)/BEd program may not have credit in Teacher Education courses applied to an undergraduate degree. Students should note that credits for the concurrent CHYS BA(Honours)/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 Teacher Education Departments. 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). In any year the program requirements for the Teacher Education program may change in order to meet outside regulatory requirements. Terms of study at another institution during Fall/Winter sessions must receive program approval. This is a limited enrolment program. Admission is not guaranteed by attainment of the minimum requirements. Students must maintain continuous registration within a twelve-month period to retain concurrent education status. Possible resumption of concurrent status will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students must complete program requirements for the first four years of the concurrent program prior to commencing Year 5. The Department of Teacher Education reserves the right to assign Concurrent Teacher Education students, in Years 5 and 6, to either the Hamilton or St Catharines campus. Students are responsible for their own transportation for practice teaching, courses and other activities related to the program, which may be scheduled at locations other than the assigned campus. Successful graduates of the CHYS BA (Honours)/BEd program will receive a Bachelor of Arts Honours 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. |

Students interested in the Child and Youth Studies BA (Honours)/BEd program apply directly from secondary school. University or college transfer applicants with no more than the equivalent of 4.0 university transfer credits may be considered for admission. Students who have completed an appropriate College of Arts and Technology two-year diploma must have a minimum 80 percent cumulative average for consideration for the BA Child and Youth Studies (Honours)/BEd Program and may receive a maximum of three transfer credits if they are admitted to Brock; students who have completed a Child and Youth Worker diploma may receive four transfer credits. Brock students may apply and be admitted to Year 2 if there is space available. To apply students must have a minimum 70 percent overall average in Year 1; their Year 1 program must replicate the 5.0 credit concurrent program requirements; the secondary school English and Mathematics program admission requirements must be met. Application forms are available on the Concurrent Teacher Education website from April 1. The completed documents must be filed in the Academic Advising, Professional and Undergraduate Programs Office by June 1. Late applications will not be accepted. Students should note that this is a limited enrolment program and admission is not guaranteed by attainment of the minimum requirements. Students must complete the academic admission requirements for the Primary/Junior Teacher Education BEd degree before completing the Child and Youth Studies BA (Honours)/BEd program. Candidates must have completed 4U/M courses or university or university/college preparation courses in Canadian geography and Canadian history (or similar courses emphasizing Canadian content), mathematics, science and English. For those candidates who have not completed these courses, the following courses or equivalents will be accepted: one-half university Canadian geography credit, GEOG 2P50 is recommended; CANA 1F91 or one-half university Canadian history credit. These requirements must be completed by the end of the Year 4 Fall/Winter session. Students are also encouraged to take arts and physical education courses. |
