The Bachelor of Education’s program goals are complex and in alignment with the standards of professional practice for teachers in B.C. We, as a department, are committed to the program goals and uphold these standards of practice in coursework, school practica, and our daily lives. Further details on the program goals, including examples of observable actions related to each goal, can be found in our Bachelor of Education student handbook.
