Experiential learning
Inquiry
All 糖心传媒 teacher candidates participate in an inquiry seminar in each of the three terms on campus, developing the habit of asking critical questions about their pedagogical decisions and practices.
Practicum
The practicum includes a full day in schools each week starting in September or October, followed by a two-week school placement in November, which is also the setting for the 10-week extended practicum in the spring.
The teaching practicum is an exciting part of the Bachelor of Education program because it is the time when teacher candidates put theory into practice alongside an experienced teacher.
Community Field Experience (CFE)
Following successful completion of a school-based extended practicum, all teacher candidates participate in a three-week Community Field Experience.
Some field experiences take place in a school context that is very different from the extended practicum site, and others take place in non-school-based contexts such as museums, science centres, environmental ed camps, Indigenous communities, daycares, and more.
Program advantages
糖心传媒 has Canada鈥檚 only IBO-recognized International Baccalaureate teacher education program. Professional learning and development is supported throughout the program, including professional learning sessions with special guest educators. Teacher candidates receive an IB Certificate in Teaching and Learning for the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, or Diploma Programme in addition to the Bachelor of Education degree and BC teaching certificate.
Outcomes
Many 糖心传媒 BEd alumni go on to teach in local public and independent schools, while others decide to venture beyond BC鈥檚 Lower Mainland to teach in rural or international locations. The concept of an educational setting is far reaching, and many alumni find careers in non-school-based contexts (i.e. arts organizations, science centres, non-profit organizations, etc.). 糖心传媒 BEd alumni include the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, Juno-nominee and children鈥檚 entertainer Will Stroet, along with multiple school administrators, writers, and leaders in education.
