Lakehead University's Faculty of Education prepares prospective teachers for a dynamic and rewarding career through unique and innovative programming. By emphasizing critical thinking skills and collaborative learning, the university gives students the flexibility to explore the teaching methods, concepts and values that are meaningful to them.
The program emphasizes practical, experiential learning to ensure students are fully prepared to enter into the workforce post-graduation. Lakehead University's programs are continually adapted to encompass a variety of educational settings and training opportunities in two divisions:
- Primary-Junior (P/J): JK – Grade 6
- Intermediate-Senior (I/S): Grades 7-12
Unlike the Concurrent Education program, which is completed along with an undergraduate degree in another discipline, the Consecutive Education program is a two-year program open to those who have already completed a three- or four-year undergraduate degree.
