In this two-term, final year capstone course, students synthesize theoretical and practical learning over their time in the program in relation to the School of Education’s outcome statement and the contemporary context of teaching and learning at the Secondary Level. They consider teaching as an intellectual pursuit and social responsibility by exploring how education in Québec is framed and positioned; the manner in which multiple stories and different ways of knowing, being, and doing can and do circulate together in teaching and learning; and the importance of critical reflection and research to educational practice. Students critically reflect on a range of ideas about the role and purpose of education and reflect on their professional position and possible trajectory in terms of those ideas. Students are encouraged to make connections between their study and research in this course and their experiences in their final practicum.
