Preparation For Teaching

Under an agreement between the Faculty and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, OISE/UT will give “preferred entry status” to graduates who:

1. successfully complete PHE331H Teaching the Child Physical Activity, with a minimum grade of “B”;
2. successfully complete PHE450Y Leadership Placement in a Faculty approved practice teaching placement;
3. achieve at least a B average in 15 full course academic equivalents, completed before the fall term of their year of application to OISE/UT; and
4. present a strong applicant profile form.

Achievement of these conditions does not guarantee a place in OISE/UT. By giving the student a background in education and some practical teaching experience, in combination with the leadership and physical activity experience all B.P.H.E. students acquire, this program should enable students to present a strong application.

Applicants to OISE/UT who wish to be considered for “preferred entry status” must notify the Faculty’s information services office by the last date to delete fall term courses of their year of application to OISE/UT.

Students who successfully complete 1, 2, and 3 above will have the notation “Teaching Preparation Option” placed on their transcripts once course grades have been approved and within two weeks of written request.
