75.4 Secondary Education Route

75.4.1 General Information

    The Secondary Education route includes 14 weeks of student teaching. Students enrol in the Introductory Professional Term (5 weeks of student teaching) and the Advanced Professional Term (9 weeks of student teaching).

    Students in the Introductory Professional Term usually teach in their Major subject specialization, while students enrolled in the Advanced Professional Term usually teach in their Major subject specialization, with a possibility of teaching in their Minor subject specialization.

    For those students who have subject specializations composed almost entirely of full-year courses, e.g., Art, Drama, Music, Second Languages, it is necessary to take these full-year courses as early as possible in their program.

75.4.2 Components of the Program

    All students in the Secondary Route must choose a Major teaching subject (*36) and a Minor teaching subject (*18) which prepares them for teaching in specific subjects of school instruction. Available Majors are listed in Education Chart 2, and available Minors are listed in Education Chart 3. Students planning to enter the Secondary Route are strongly encouraged to take as part of their Preprofessional Year *6 in Language/Literature, *3 in Computing (EDIT 202 is recommended), *12 in the Major teaching subject, *6 in the Minor teaching subject.
