Outdoor and Experiential Education (OEE)
Outdoor and Experiential Education (OEE)
The Outdoor and Experiential Education Program Track is intended to facilitate integration of conventional teacher education and preparation for leading dynamic school and community-based outdoor-oriented education. Courses are based on experiential education theory with emphasis on methodologies appropriate to a variety of environmental contexts and to all teaching subjects. Also considered are skills required to develop, propose, organize, facilitate, operate and evaluate various outdoor experiential education programs.
 
Admission
Applicants must meet the regular admission requirements for all BEd candidates applying to the Primary-Junior or Intermediate-Senior options. Applicants should have education and work experience that would enable them both to contribute and profit from OEE. A strong academic discipline is an advantage. Career interests with a service orientation and readiness to teach in settings whose values draw on humanistic foundations are seen as desirable. Candidates are required to have current certificates in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, standard first aid and an aquatic-based life saving (or equivalent) before graduation. It is an advantage to have these certificates on admission.  Required supplementary admissions materials and deadlines can be found at educ.queensu.ca/admission/bachelor/consecutive/criteria/index.shtml
 
Concurrent Education candidates are also eligible to apply to the OEE program track in the year immediately preceding their final BEd year. Interested applicants should refer to the above link for details outlining required supplemental documents and deadlines. The deadline for submitting program track supplemental documents is the same as Consecutive Education program track applicants.  Concurrent Education candidates do not apply through OUAC for the program track, but rather they submit supplemental materials directly to the Education Registrar's Office.  Concurrent Education candidates will use their Queen's student number in place of the OUAC application number on all supplemental materials.
