Diploma of Education- Collaboration between EPSB and Faculty of Education
As you may have heard, school districts in the Greater Edmonton area are feeling tight budgetary constraints and many beginning teachers have not been extended a probationary contract for the next school year. You might want to think about using this year to hone your pedagogical expertise and get experience in schools!
Edmonton Public Schools, in collaboration with the University of Alberta, and supported by the Alberta Teachers’ Association and Alberta Education, is excited to offer a Diploma in BUILDING TEACHING AND LEARNING IN AN URBAN CONTEXT.
