Accelerated format - All Accelerated Secondary 教育 (ASE) Programs are designed to be able to be completed in 3 years, if a student starts with zero credits. The ASE programs only have required Practicum courses during semester 1, 2, and 5. All ASE programs (similar to the AEE) will require student teaching during semester 6.
课程- 课程 是 developed in view of the traditional undergraduate program. Within coursework, there are highly-collaborative education courses. There are also non-education courses such as math, science, communication, English, religion, etc. These courses are more self-paced.

Practicum and classroom experience -Over the semester students have practicum experiences. This is also known as students "in the field" or field work. This work in the beginning is developmental in nature--observational. Semesters one through five of six total semesters have practicums. The third and final year presents more leadership classroom experience. The 6th and final semester is student teaching.
A background check is required at the beginning of practicum 1 and prior to student teaching. 学生 need to have a cooperating teacher in a regular school and the teacher needs a valid teaching license, at least 3 years experience, and been in their current building for a year. Concordia is happy to discuss practicum and field work with you.
