Bachelor of Education Progression Policy

The pass mark in all Bachelor of Education courses is 60. Bachelor of Education students may only proceed to the next term of the program by successfully completing all credits of the coursework from the preceding term. This includes the teaching practicum.

The Nova Scotia Department of Education has adopted guidelines for the conduct of pre-service teachers enrolled in the Bachelor of Education program. Professional responsibilities of teacher candidates are outlined in the CBU Bachelor of Education Practicum Handbook and in the Nova Scotia Teachers Union Code of Ethics. Pre-service teachers are expected to adopt the core values of professionalism and the principles that define teachers’ moral and ethical obligations both individually and collectively. Such values and principles are expressed in the pre-service teacher’s attitude, behaviour and practice.
