Concurrent Teacher Education  (B.A./B.Sc. & B.Ed.)


CTEP Co-ordinator: S. Syed Email: ssyed@utsc.utoronto.ca
Academic Advisor (French): C. Beauquis Email: ctep-french-program-supervisor@utsc.utoronto.ca
Academic Advisor (Mathematical & Physical Sciences): C. Dyer Email: dyer@astro.utoronto.ca
The Concurrent Teacher Education Program (CTEP) is a partnership between the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE/UT) and six other academic units of the University of Toronto, including the University of Toronto Scarborough, which allows students interested in a career in teaching to complete two undergraduate degrees at the same time during five years of full-time study. Upon successful completion of the program, U of T Scarborough students will earn both a Bachelor of Education and either an Honours Bachelor of Arts or an Honours Bachelor of Science and will be recommended for certification as elementary or secondary teachers in Ontario
There are two CTEP options at U of T Scarborough:

Teaching Subjects
Intermediate/Secondary (I/S): Students must have two teaching subjects, one of which must be the CTEP area of study for which they have been admitted (e.g. French or Chemistry).
Primary/Junior (P/J): Students do not need a second teaching subject. As teachers, they will cover many topics in the curriculum and should have knowledge of a range of areas.
Students declare their main teaching subject (specialist or major program) and level (primary/junior or intermediate/secondary) in the session following attainment of their 4th credit.
Eligible Specialist and Major Programs

(See the Chemistry, French, Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Physics or Statistics section of this Calendar for specific program requirements.)

Admissions: In most cases, students apply to enter CTEP either directly from secondary school or after their first year of university studies.
Prospective Applicants: For direct admission from secondary school or for students who wish to transfer to U of T Scarborough from another U of T faculty, applicants must indicate the special code for the program on the Application for Admission to an Ontario University. See the Admissions section of this Calendar for more information and deadlines.
Upon receiving the application, the University of Toronto's Admissions and Awards office will send the applicant a confirmation letter and Applicant Instruction Guide. At this stage CTEP applicants will be required to complete an on-line Application Profile.
Current U of T Scarborough Students: Application procedures can be found at the Registrar's Office website: www.utsc.utoronto.ca/registrar. The minimum qualifications for entry are:

Program Requirements: The program requires completion of:

Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 to remain in the program.
Students who choose, or are required, to withdraw from CTEP may be allowed to transfer to a non-CTEP Honours Bachelor of Arts or Honours Bachelor of Science, retaining credit for all courses except the internship in e) above and the Bachelor of Education courses listed below.

Over the course of the program, CTEP students will also develop a Portfolio, a collection of artifacts, assignments and reflective activities that mirrors their growth as CTEP candidates from students to professionals.
(For more information on these courses and OISE/UT related CTEP requirements, see the OISE/UT Calendar.)
