Intermediate/Senior Program

The Intermediate/Senior program qualifies candidates to teach in grades 7 to 12/OAC. It may be taken only in conjunction with an Honours degree academic program, and over a period of three or four years of coregistration. By Ontario College of Teachers' regulations, all candidates in the I/S program must prepare themselves to teach two subjects at the I/S levels. Candidates may choose their I/S division subjects from the following list:

* Science General is not available at the Intermediate/Senior level to those selecting Biology, Chemistry or Physics as a teaching subject.

Some of the above subjects (e.g. Dance, Music, Drama, Computer Science, Spanish, Economics) depending on numbers may only be available through Independent Study Courses. Teacher candidates should discuss the possibility and appropriateness of such courses with their advisers by February 1 of the Education 1 year.

When selecting their two teaching subjects, candidates should note the academic requirements for each subject and the prerequisites for particular practicum seminars. They should also take into account that not all courses are offered every year.

For the Junior/Intermediate program a minimum of 18 credits in a subject must be taken in order to register in that subject practicum/seminar. A candidate requires a minimum of 24 credits in the teaching subject in order to graduate.

For the Intermediate/Senior program a minimum of 24 credits in the subject area must be taken in order to register in that subject practicum/seminar. A candidate requires a minimum of 36 credits in one teaching subject area and 24 credits in the other area to graduate.

Academic courses should be taken according to the following patterns. (Note that Glendon, Atkinson or other equivalents may be designated by one's adviser.)
