Bachelor of Education: Classical Studies: Latin
Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto

This degree was resurrected in 2000 after a 20 year absence from FEUT/OISE's course offerings and has trained 27 Latin teachers, 22 of whom hold contract positions in Ontario, the U.S., and Britain; currently 6 candidates are enrolled in the programme. The degree will be offered again in 2006-2007.

Candidates must apply on-line through Ontario University Application Centre in Guelph, Ontario (http://www.ouac.on.ca/teas) between 01 September and 30 November 2005. Candidates' first choice MUST be OISE/UT, I/S (Intermediate/Senior programme), Classical Studies: Latin and a "mainstream teachable" for the second required course.

Classics courses are generally considered "history" courses; try to add at least 3 full-year or 18 credits, in a third "teachable" such as math, art, French. Remember that history is a saturated field and so it is better to add 3 full-year or 18 credits, in another "mainstream" course. The more courses for which a candidate is academically qualified, the better the chances of being hired after graduation.

Candidates MUST have completed 5 full-year or 30 credits in Latin to qualify for the programme. Candidates must have a MINIMUM of 2 years volunteer experience working with students at the age which they hope to teach; appropriate and preferred experience includes volunteering in a school setting, coaching, working with clubs, literacy initiatives etc. Working with Scouts, on a rep. soccer team, acting as a TA will also be considered by OISE.

All candidates must write an essay or summary statement in which they discuss their teaching philosophy and reasons for wanting to pursue a career in teaching. Write this early, leaving sufficient time to consult a professor for help with spelling, grammar, cogency and sense.

If you have any questions, contact your professors for further assistance, the OCA website at http://www.ontclassics.org or the current instructor of the B.Ed. Classical Studies: Latin programme, Margaret-Anne Gillis, at Barrie Central Collegiate, 125 Dunlop Street West, Barrie, L4N 1A9, (705) 726-1846, voice mail 428 or e-mail at mgillis@mail.scdsb.on.ca.
