Each year, the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation honours
the memory of Maxwell A. Cameron with the presentation of a silver lapel pin
and monetary award to selected education students who have completed their
final year of education and training at one of BC’s public universities.
At UNBC, the top teacher candidates in elementary and
secondary school teaching are selected through a process of nomination by their
cooperating teachers, practicum supervisors, and/or education program faculty
and the evaluation of their academic and professional preparation and practicum

The School of Education has offered a Master of Education degree
since UNBC was established. In 2002 the addition of a post-degree
Bachelor of Education doubled the student enrollment, faculty
and support staff as well as course offerings.
Teacher candidates in both the Elementary and Secondary streams complete course
work and practicum experiences over a two-year period. Upon completion,
successful candidates are granted a B.Ed. degree and will be
recommended to the British Columbia College of Teachers for a
professional teaching certificate. Individuals require this certificate to teach in the public schools in the province of British Columbia.

Counselling
The Counselling specialization is designed to prepare counsellors
to provide professional services and leadership in counselling and
psycho-educational programs offered in schools, post-secondary
institutions, social service agencies, community health organizations.
Multidisciplinary Leadership
The Multidisciplinary Leadership specialization is designed to
prepare graduates to take on roles of responsibility or leadership in a
number of educational or community environments. In particular, our
graduates will develop skills in collaboration and communication, as
well as specific leadership practices that enable the creation of
positive and innovative organizational environments. At the same time,
a rigorous academic focus provides the knowledge that is necessary to
ground effective practice in the diverse and rich scholarship of
leadership.
