BEd (Indigenous Teacher Education) - Part-time Consecutive Beginning in 2010-2011, candidates in the Faculty of Education’s Concurrent or Part-time Consecutive programs may pursue the Indigenous Teacher Education program, a course of study designed to prepare teachers of Aboriginal studies, under guidelines established by the Faculty. Students entering the Faculty of Education’s Concurrent BEd (Indigenous Teacher Education) program generally do so upon successful completion of the first or second year of their bachelor program. Prior to admission, students should have completed ED/EDUC 2200 3.00 (Issues in Indigenous Education) with a minimum C+ grade. This course will later count as a BEd elective, once admitted into the Faculty of Education. In addition to the requirements above, applicants are expected to have successfully completed 24 credits with an Indigenous focus, with a grade of C+ or higher in each course. Considerable emphasis in the program is placed on Indigenous language skills and deep understanding of Native Canadian cultures. It is strongly recommended that at least one Indigenous language course be taken prior to graduation. To further support the Indigenous cultural component of the program, community organizations and schools related to the Aboriginal experience may be used for practicum placements throughout the three years of the BEd program.

Jewish Teacher Education - Part-time Consecutive Candidates in the Faculty of Education’s Concurrent program may pursue the Jewish Teacher Education option, a course of study designed to prepare teachers of Hebrew language arts and Jewish studies under guidelines established by the Faculty in consultation with the Board of Jewish Education of Greater Toronto. During the course of the candidate’s professional training, appropriate practicum placements in Jewish day schools enable candidates to develop teaching skills in Jewish studies and general studies leading to certification by the Toronto Board of Jewish Education as well as the preparation necessary to be recommended for certification by the Ontario College of Teachers. Jewish Teacher Education Program Teacher candidates enrolled in this program should be sure to include: AP/HEB 3210 3.00 or AP/HEB 3211 3.00 These courses are offered on a rotating basis over a three-year cycle. ED I students are asked to make an appointment for an informal Hebrew language assessment to determine the section in which to enrol: Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics, tel.: 416-736-2100, ext. 55016. Teacher candidates in Jewish Teacher Education are expected to take a coherent program of Hebrew language and courses in Jewish studies. Teacher candidates enrolled in the Jewish Teacher Education program should carefully prepare their academic programs each year in consultation with a Faculty of Education advisor and/or the program’s coordinator in order to be sure that they meet the academic requirements of their chosen programs in the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies, including the Advanced Certificate in Hebrew and Jewish Studies.

Consecutive Program Practicum - Full-time Teacher candidates in the Consecutive program typically have two practicum placements in the primary/junior and junior/intermediate divisions and three at the intermediate/senior division. Candidates spend the opening week of school in their placement as a means of orientation to teaching and to the mentor classroom. Depending on the program, candidates spend one or two days a week in the classroom, or alternating weeks in and out of the classroom. The first placement extends from September through to mid-December and the second from January through to the end of May in the primary/junior and junior/intermediate divisions. In addition, all teacher candidates have blocks of intensive practicum experience during the year culminating in a final four-week block in May. Intermediate/senior candidates have a two to three week observation block in an elementary school in the winter term. Every attempt is made to familiarize candidates with different boards in the area, pupils of different age levels, a range of school offerings, and a variety of social groups of pupils. (For further details on the Consecutive program practicum, please see the Faculty of Education Web site at http://www.yorku.ca/foe/). Consecutive Program Practicum - Part-time (3-Year Program) The first year field placement explores schools and their communities. Candidates spend 50 hours in this field placement during their first year in the program. The second and third year practica occur in schools and classrooms. This long-term association with a school’s program allows the candidate to observe the development of the curriculum and pupils over the course of the school year and to acquire an understanding of the school and its community. Over the three-year period of the program, every attempt is made to familiarize candidates with different boards in the area, pupils of different age levels, a range of school offerings, and a variety of social groups of pupils. (For further details on the Consecutive program part-time practicum, please see the Faculty of Education Web site at http://www.edu.yorku.ca).
