Nova scotia teacher certification handbook 2001

A significant majority of master of education programming in Nova Scotia is now provided through a cohort model, which allows the five Nova Scotian universities offering bachelor of education programs to collaborate effectively and respond to system needs.

Co-designed cohort programs in areas such as literacy, mathematics and guidance are allowing universities and regional centres to partner in meeting regional needs more effectively. Many cohort programs are also designed to enable teachers to connect the pedagogical and curricular knowledge with their current teaching assignments through applied or job-embedded learning.
