3.5.1 Elementary Route

Students interested in focusing on elementary education (Kindergarten to Grade 6) require an academic degree from a recognized university, with an academic area normally from the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, fine arts, cultural studies or communication. The elementary route of the BEd (Master of Teaching Program) requires graduates be prepared to teach across the subject areas. Graduates of the program must demonstrate an understanding of teaching in the elementary subjects of language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science, as well as physical education and the fine arts. Hence, applicants to the elementary route in the MT program should have a broad background in relevant disciplinary areas.

Applicants may apply for one of the specializations listed below:

General Elementary

Focuses on teaching Grades 1 to 6 with attention to all school subject areas.

Early Childhood Education

Emphasizes the developmental aspects of young children, how they learn, and how this impacts program planning for Kindergarten to Grade 3. A major field experience takes places in Kindergarten.

Elementary French

Focuses on teaching Grades K to 6 in French Immersion, francophone schools and FSL (French as a second language) programs. Applicants must be fully competent in oral and written French and demonstrate this in an interview.
