Primary Teacher Education

Program description: The primary teacher education program lays strong emphasis on developing teachers’ instructional practices for the purpose of disrupting inequities in schools. Unlike early childhood teachers, they learn theories and psychological characteristics associated with pupils above the age and developmental stage of the nursery and early childhood period. Prospective teachers, also called teaching interns, learn teaching practices that adopt a “subject-matter serious” perspective. The teacher program aims to support teaching interns and help them become elementary teachers that meet the needs of all their pupils. Every semester, student teachers participate in both academic and professional coursework, while also working in elementary classrooms. This complementary approach to learning allows students’ knowledge and confidence to grow, as the coursework and fieldwork (practicum teaching practice) build upon and expand what they have already learned.
