Teacher Education Stream

In this program, you will have the unique opportunity to design your B.A. or B.Sc. degree according to your interests and gain practical and theoretical knowledge through coursework and placements.  In addition to your degree requirements, the Teacher Education Stream involves taking 3.5 credits in Education over the course of the four years of an Honours B.A. or B.Sc. degree.  You will complete 36 hours of Education-related placements in years 1, 2 & 4; 18 hours in Year 3, linked to the courses in Education. The Teacher Education Stream is recommended as the best pathway to take at Trent for those undergraduate students who know they want to become teachers. 

Students entering the Teacher Education Stream program will be guaranteed entry into the Bachelor of Education program provided they successfully complete all the requirements of the Teacher Education Stream program and their undergraduate degree, achieve a minimum 85% average at Trent University on their most recent 10.0 credits at the time of application, and submit the B.Ed. Profile of Experience. Students who meet these requirements and plan on teaching at the Intermediate/Senior level must also meet the requirements for two teaching subjects. Each year, a number of spaces in Trent’s Consecutive Bachelor of Education program will be reserved for graduates of this program. **The guaranteed admission for those over 85% only applies to those who apply to start the B.Ed. program in the academic year immediately following completion of the TES program.
