The public school systems of selected foreign countries are examined and compared to the provincial systems in Canada. Students are expected to carry out independent research on a foreign country of their choosing.

This is a three semester-hour course offered to students in the Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Education (français langue seconde) programs.  The course is offered Fridays from 4:00pm to 7:00pm from September 9 to November 25, 2022.

Ideal candidates will have a Masters of Education degree.  Successful candidates will normally have school-based experience in a Canadian public K-12 system.  For applicants without school-based experience, teaching in other contexts relevant and appropriate to the position will be considered. Applicants should have experience in teaching, research or practice related to the course content. Where courses are offered on-line using multi-media technologies, applicants will normally be able to demonstrate successful on-line teaching experience.  Fluency in both English and French is an asset.
