Artist in Community Education (ACE)
Artist in Community Education (ACE)
The Artist in Community Education track is designed to integrate a conventional teacher education program with preparation for employment as an artist educator within the traditional school environment or within the broader context of community arts education. Arts centres, artists-, musicians-, and writers-in-residence, and community-based theatre companies are only a few of the opportunities for full or part-time employment of the artist in this broadened context. There is a demand for competent arts educators in both public and private school systems, as well as adult education programs, art galleries, orchestras, recreational facilities, etc.
 
Artist in Community Education is designed to provide the needed exposure to a professional arts education environment to prepare the artist to work with the community. It is intended for teacher education candidates who are graduates in the arts (Visual Arts, Music, Drama, English) and who wish to develop an additional set of skills related to their interests in the arts. These skills could be used to secure or create part-time commitments to the community in addition teaching in the regular school system.
 
Admission
Applicants for Artist in Community Education apply through the OUAC/TEAS. The requirements for admission are the same as those for admission to the Primary-Junior and Intermediate-Senior options. For Intermediate-Senior, the first of the two teaching subjects selected must be English, Dramatic Arts, Music or Visual Arts. In addition, applicants for admission to the Artist in Community Education program may be invited for an interview.  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 ACE program track in the year immediately preceding their final BEd year. Interested applicants should refer to the above link for details outlining the 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.
