Expectations of Catholic School Boards

Many of the Catholic School Boards in Ontario require that applicants for teaching positions have completed successfully a course in religious education methods. To help candidates meet this requirement, the Faculty of Education, in cooperation with the Catholic Office of Religious Education (CORE) offers an optional credit course in Religious Education Methodology (ED/EDUC 3000 3.0). Those wishing to avail themselves of the option should consult the timetable and register for it during the registration period. Priority enrolment in this course is given to Education III candidates (Concurrent program only).

The Catholic School Boards prefer that all applicants for positions have had some experience in Catholic Schools. Candidates wishing some practicum experience in Catholic Schools should make their wishes known on the practicum request form. Every effort will be made to provide interested candidates with a Catholic School placement during at least one of their practica. Some Catholic School Boards also prefer applicants to have had some university-level course work in the area of religious studies.
