UCFV hosts the Simon Fraser University
Professional Development Program (PDP) in partnership with SFU,
and the Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, and Fraser-Cascade
school districts. This PDP module is located at UCFV, but is
offered and administered by SFU. Over the next few years, UCFV
will take increasing responsibility for the program,
culminating in an independently certified Teacher Education
Program (TEP)
The UCFV module, located at the
Chilliwack campus, consists of 32 students led by an
instructional team of two faculty associates (seconded from
local school districts), a faculty member and a coordinator.
Over the course of 12 months, students
will complete education courses and will be placed as student
teachers in classrooms in Fraser Valley school districts. Upon
successful completion of the program, graduates will be
recommended to the B.C. College of Teachers for the British
Columbia Professional Teaching Certificate.
Once UCFV takes full responsibility
for the Teacher Education Program, preference will be given to
students with background and interest in the areas of greatest
current need in B.C.’s school districts.
UCFV students who have completed a
bachelor’s degree in a teachable subject or subjects may
apply to SFU’s PDP. The deadline for the program starting
in September is January 15. Students may indicate a preference
for the UCFV module during the application process. To find out
more about entrance requirements and a program outline, consult
