Talk:Bachelor of Education

U.S. Degree

I don't know of any 2-year teaching degree programs in the United States. Teachers of accredited schools must be certified and must hold teaching licenses. Many states also require a standardized test for qualification to receive the degree. In addition, "student teaching," at least one term of practical supervised teaching, is required.

It's true that universities vary in their degree requirements, but, in my experience, the Bachelor of Education degree consists of a double-major in education and in the content area.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong. If it's supposed to mean that the first two years of the teaching degree program are content area-oriented and the second two are pedagogy-oriented, the article doesn't make that clear. Instead, it gives the impression that, in comparison with British teachers, American and Canadian teachers are untrained. IrisWings 01:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

____________

I agree this article is unclear whether it is a 2 or 4 year degree. This degree is obviously unpopular considering how undeveloped this article is.

B.Sc.Ed.

I don't know what to do with this section. It's written in choppy English (missing important verbs), specific to one country, and contains claims that don't sound true (all graduates are given government jobs). Should it be deleted or rewritten by someone familiar with the degree? GaryColemanFan 01:56, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
