Learn about two additional options for secondary teacher candidates:

International Baccalaureate (IB) Educator Stream

Secondary teacher candidates selecting these options have an interest in an international education that is concept-based, inquiry-driven and student-centered. Guided by key concepts and transdisciplinary themes, teachers create enriching, hands-on learning opportunities that promote discovery, exploration and thinking about real-world issues.

An IB elective is scheduled August 28 to September 1, 2023. Attendance is mandatory. During the year, workshops and seminars (in addition to regular BEd coursework) are provided to enhance understandings about the IB approach and facilitate links to coursework and practica. The IB elective will fulfill the 3-credit elective requirement for the secondary BEd Program (so no elective will need to be taken in Summer 2024, although one may be taken then as an additional course if desired).

There are two IB options offered for secondary teacher candidates:

  1. IB Middle Years Programme (IB-MYP)
    Teacher candidates in the IB Middle Years Programme will complete an additional 1 credit for their program.
  2. IB Diploma Programme (IB-DP)
    Teacher candidates in the IB Diploma Programme will complete an additional 2 credits for their program.

Please familiarize yourself with each of these options.

How to Apply:

There are very limited seats available in the International Baccalaureate options.

An online application will be available starting May 23, 2023. A link to the online application will be emailed to teacher candidates on May 23, 2023. Interested teacher candidates must complete the online application form no later than June 2, 2023.

This is not a first-come, first-served process; selection is based on a number of variables including teachable subject/s and practicum placement location. Those applicants selected for an IB option will be notified by email as will those who were not (and will proceed with the regular secondary program based on their teachable subject/s).


Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Decolonization (EDI-D) Cohort

This cohort launched in September 2022.

The EDI-D secondary cohort will support and inspire teacher candidates, and the students and mentors they work with, to explore, develop, and deepen curricular and pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning within the particular lenses of equity, diversity, inclusion and decolonization.

Teacher candidates chosen to be participants in this cohort will engage with their peers in a cross-curricular Inquiry environment.  Cohort practicum placements are scheduled to be in selected schools within the Richmond School District (SD 38).

How to Apply

There are limited seats available in the EDI-D Cohort.

An online application will be available starting May 23, 2023. A link to the online application will be emailed to teacher candidates on May 23, 2023. Interested teacher candidates must complete the online application form no later than June 2, 2023.

Those applicants selected for the EDI-D Cohort will be notified by email as will those who were not (and will proceed with the regular secondary program based on their teachable subject/s).
