Program description
The Elementary Years track equips prospective teachers to deal with the special educational requirements of young students at the start of their school careers. Those who are accepted into the Elementary Years stream become part of a cohort of teacher candidates who often start and finish their programs at the same time.
Teacher applicants are recommended for professional certification by the Chair of the School of Education to the Ministry of Education after successfully completing all academic courses for the Bachelor of Education. Graduates who choose to work in a public school in BC must submit an application to the BC Ministry of Education along with the necessary paperwork and payment of fees.
