The Bachelor of Education (After Degree) (BEd) is a two-year, 60-credit program designed to prepare teachers with an accredited university degree to work in the public school system. Our goal as professors and leaders in the program is for a successful graduate to have met the requirements of the competencies of the Government of Alberta’s Teaching Quality Standard (TQS) so to be eligible for an Alberta
Interim Teaching Certificate.
The BEd program includes a number of distinctive features. The program is competency based, grounded in research, and designed to prepare students to teach effectively in classrooms made up of diverse learners. Our main program goal is to prepare a successful graduate who can design inclusive learning experiences to accommodate all children, including those with exceptional learning needs and cultural
diversity. We include an informal mentorship program in which our students will be nurtured by current or retired classroom teachers. We have partnerships with Calgary and area school districts including the CBE, Rocky View Schools, Palliser, Calgary Catholic, and Charter schools in which students are placed for their 19.5 weeks of in-school experiences over the two years of the program. In addition, we provide bursary opportunities for students who wish to volunteer in schools in/out of the country.
