Typically, we will have 500-550 teacher candidates in the following areas: Primary & Junior (grades JK-6, some with French as a Second Language certification); Intermediate & Senior (grades 7-12: each teacher candidate will be certified in two teaching subjects, some with French); and Technological Education. We also have talented M.Ed and PhD. students who may be of interest to you.
