Concurrent Bachelor of Mathematics/Bachelor of Education

The Concurrent Bachelor of Mathematics/Bachelor of Education Program is offered jointly over four or five years by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Faculty of Education. The aim is to provide the opportunity and education to individuals who wish to teach mathematics in schools at the intermediate and senior levels (Grade 7 through the end of secondary school).

Graduates of this program will receive two degrees and will acquire the necessary skills and knowledge for two teachable subjects and fulfill the requirements for certification by the Ontario College of Teachers. It offers students the opportunity to begin working towards teaching certification early in their academic careers. Students can qualify for the Bachelor of Mathematics degree while concurrently studying education and doing practice teaching in schools. Practice teaching begins in Year One of the program. All students should see an advisor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, and in the Faculty of Education, on a regular basis, to discuss course selection and academic progress.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

CONCURRENT BACHELOR OF MATHEMATICS (GENERAL)/ BACHELOR OF EDUCATION

Total courses: Forty-four semester courses

CONCURRENT BACHELOR OF MATHEMATICS (HONOURS)/ BACHELOR OF EDUCATION

Total courses: Fifty-four semester courses

All students are required to complete the requirements of the Bachelor of Mathematics (General or Honours) degree program, in addition to: seven full-year Education courses: 80-203, 80-204, 80-205, 80-303 and 80-366; plus one additional Education course in the range of 80-352 through 80-380; and seventy days of Practice Teaching (80-499). Requirements can also be met for teaching in the Roman Catholic school system by taking 80-200 as an eighth Education course.

Mathematics will be the first teachable subject for students in this program. All students must select a group of courses that provide a second teachable subject (6 approved courses in one area) and are advised to seek the recommendations of the program co-ordinators to ensure that their selection of courses fulfills B.Math.(General or Honours) degree requirements, as well as the requirements for a 'teachable' subject from the perspective of the Faculty of Education.

Many students elect to complete the Bachelor of Mathematics (Honours) degree, thus increasing the range of their career opportunities. Students should make this decision during their second year of studies.

Note: Third year in this sequence contains no Education courses. This is to permit students to complete required Mathematics and Statistics courses for prerequisite purposes, and to ensure that the practice teaching component is close to the end of the program, to meet certification requirements. Having the fourth year without Education courses, rather than the third, is also permitted.

PRACTICE TEACHING

Directed observation and practice teaching will be arranged by the Faculty of Education to include practical experience in schools and programs applicable to the concentration for which the student is a candidate. Candidates in this program will complete their practice teaching in classes from grade seven to the end of Secondary School, inclusive.

STANDING REQUIRED FOR CONTINUATION

Students must comply with the general university regulations (see 2.4). In addition candidates who obtain a final grade of less than a C in (a) practice teaching, or (b) three or more Education courses in the program will not be recommended for certification. Flexible learning available at Windsor allows students to take some of their required B.Math. courses in Summer Term (Intersession or Summer courses).

GRADUATION

For Standing Required for Graduation, see 2.4. Graduates of the program will receive both the Bachelor of Mathematics (General or Honours) and the Bachelor of Education (General) degrees.

The Faculty of Education does not issue a teaching certificate. The Ontario Certificate of Qualification is issued by the Ontario College of Teachers upon recommendation of the Dean of the Faculty of Education. Only Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents of Canada qualify for this certificate.

Minor in Mathematics

A minor in Mathematics consists of at least six courses taken from Mathematics and Statistics, with a minimum average of 5.0, including 62-120, 62-140 and 62-141. The remaining three or more courses must be chosen among 62-190 and courses in Mathematics and/or Statistics numbered 200 or higher.
