The Faculty of Education launched the Professional Qualification Program last year to prepare teachers certified in other countries to enter the British Columbia public school system. The program, offered in collaboration with the BC College of Teachers, uses a combination of seminars and in-school experiences to acquaint participants with the cultural, social and political context of BC schools.
The program integrates the rich experiences that participants bring with them, recognizing that these skills and talents can benefit our public education system.
The program reflects SFU's belief that the children of BC would benefit from a teaching population that represents the broadest range of languages, cultures, ethnicities and nationalities.
