About Our Teacher Education Program
The Consecutive Bachelor of Education program is a highly collaborative, hands-on program that pays particular attention to the individual learner, in small class settings with a community-based approach. Working closely with Trent University’s Faculty of Arts and Science, the First People’s House of Learning and educators in the wider community, you will leave the program with a mindset to make education a transformative experience.
Offered at our Peterborough campus, the Bachelor of Education is a 2-year, full-time program that prepares you to teach in either the Primary/Junior (Kindergarten-Grade 6) or Intermediate/Senior (Grades 7-12) divisions.
Our program consists of:
- a commitment to incorporating social justice education, Indigenous knowledge, equity, diversity and inclusion;
- developing foundational knowledge grounded by research, in pedagogy and practice, to ensure student success;
- the ability to focus on an area of interest through elective courses; and
- approximately 115 days of teaching experience through practicum and alternative placement settings that promote holistic approaches to education.
