Office Assistant TBA 905-688-5550, extension 4226 Welch Hall 8A brocku.ca/applied-health-sciences The Faculty of Applied Health Sciences and the Faculty of Education co-operate in offering a concurrent six-year program combining a Bachelor of Physical Education (BPhEd) (Honours) degree with a Bachelor of Education (BEd) for students interested in teaching at the Junior/intermediate level (grades 4-10) emphasizing elementary school (grades 4-8). Students 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 Director, Teacher Education Program. Students must achieve a minimum of 65 percent in both KINE 1P90 and KINE 1P93, and maintain a 70 percent cumulative overall average each year in all academic grade-marked courses. Students are strongly recommended to take an emergency First Aid/CPR course. Because the BPhEd (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 BPhEd. For this reason, a student who transfers out of the BPhEd (Honours)/BEd program may not have credit in Teacher Education courses applied to an undergraduate degree. Students should note that credits for the concurrent BPhEd (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 Undergraduate and Teacher Education programs. 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. Students must obtain a minimum 75 percent average in a minimum 3.0 credits in the teachable subject, Health and Physical Education. Students must complete program requirements for the first four years of the concurrent program prior to commencing Year 5. 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. Terms of study at another institution during Fall/Winter sessions must receive program approval. This is a limited enrolment program. Although admissions will be primarily based on grades, other criteria, such as balance across teachable disciplines or teaching areas of high need may be used in the selection process in any particular year. Admission is not guaranteed by attainment of the minimum requirements. The Teacher Education program 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 program will receive a Bachelor of Physical Education honours degree and a Bachelor of Education degree. The Department of Kinesiology is accredited through the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators. 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. |
