The Faculty of
Education at the University of Alberta is one of the largest faculties in
Canada with 9 undergraduate degree programs and a wide array of graduate
degrees. With four teaching departments and one school, we employ over 120
full time professors, 50 support staff and 90 full and part-time sessional
instructors and educate more than 3,380 undergraduate students and 860 graduate
students. A recent study rated the Faculty of Education as the best overall
in Canada.
More than 60 per cent of the elementary and secondary school teachers in
Alberta are U of A graduates, 33 have become presidents of universities or
colleges and over 25% of the current Deans of Education in Canada are alumni
of this Faculty.
The Faculty of Education is committed to the discovery and dissemination
of knowledge about teaching and learning. We promote the view that to be
a professional educator is to continue to question, to reflect, to seek
knowledge, and to be open to change |
