EBTM+PROGRAM+(U+of+R)

The Business, Technology and Media Studies Teacher Education Program is making a special effort to attract graduating high school students to its teacher education program. This four year Bachelor of Education program prepares prospective teachers to teach the following subjects in Saskatchewan High School: Entrepreneurship, Career and Work Exploration, Accounting, Information Processing, Communication Media, Communication Production Technology, Photography, Life Transitions, Tourism, Hospitality and Entrepreneurship (see []). We also prepare prospective teachers to teach Economics, Law, Personal Financial Management. Marketing and Business Communications.

Our graduates work all over the province and beyond in High Schools, SIAST, SIIT and in industry. In recent years our graduates are often immediately employed upon graduation.

As is the case with all Faculty of Education teacher education programs, students will have a series of field experiences and study courses leading to a minor in addition to their EBTM major and be eligible for a K-12 teaching certificate upon graduation.

Dr. Cyril Kesten, subject area chair, is available to speak to your students and their parents directly, answer any questions you may have about the program and/or come to your school or school division to make a presentation about the future of this area of study at both the University and High School level.

A brochure outlining the EBTM Teacher Education Program is provided.

The EBTM subject area partners with the U of R's Faculty of Business Administration, the Business Education Student Society, the Saskatchewan Business Teachers Association and others to hold the 2nd Annual High School Case Competition in April 2013. High School students compete in school based teams for the title of Best Business High School in Saskatchewan. This award was won by Campbell Collegiate in Regina last year. High School teachers and their students are supported by members of both the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Business Administration and their students. For further information contact Dr. C.
