Students who complete the Post-Graduate Certificate will be eligible to receive advanced standing in the laddering option offered by the Faculty of Education.
Queen’s University Faculty of Education has designed this the laddering option as a customizable graduate experience, with the inclusion of three different credentials within one course. Laddering will allow you to progress through successive credentials while carrying forward course credits. Students can receive three different credentials: a Post-Graduate Certificate, a Graduate Diploma in Education, and a Professional Master of Education. If you follow the laddering system, you can earn all three credentials with fewer classes overall.

The Intercultural Communication Course is designed to provide candidates with essential linguistic and socio-cultural foundations within the Canadian academic context. By enrolling in this course, candidates will enhance their language proficiency for teaching in Ontario and develop intercultural skills and knowledge necessary for successful academic and professional pursuits in Canada.
The Intercultural Communication Course aims to enhance candidates' language skills for teaching while fostering intercultural competence. It prepares them for the unique challenges and opportunities they may encounter as they pursue their careers in the Canadian educational landscape.
Please note: Students are automatically enrolled in these courses as part of their program enrolment.
You will also complete seven additional qualification courses designed to prepare you for professional practice in Ontario schools. Each AQ course consists of 125 hours of content to be completed in a blended (online and onsite) format. All courses are facilitated by Ontario certified teachers. These courses will complement your existing teacher education degree and help prepare you for teaching in the Ontario school system.
Please note that the AQ courses are subject to change based on teachers' availability and the individual cohort's needs, preferences, and knowledge gaps.
This course will enhance the understanding of effective practices and instructional strategies in Ontario classrooms. Teachers will explore the policies and strategies underpinning the Ontario curriculum, understand the procedures related to the Individual Education Plan process (IEP) and engage in course planning integrating differentiated instructions and universal design. Teachers will apply the Ethical Standards for the Teaching Profession and the Standards of Practice for the Teaching Profession in their program planning.
This course will introduce strategies for creating and supporting a safe, inclusive, learning-focused classroom – a process that begins with effective classroom management. Classroom Management examines how several different components of teaching are integral to creating and maintaining a positive, ethical, equitable, accepting, inclusive, engaging, and safe learning environment. You will explore processes that promote a collaborative community that encourages student voice, leadership, critical inquiry, and self-regulation. In addition, you will establish practices that promote partnerships that value shared responsibility, decision-making, advocacy, and leadership.
In this course you will have the opportunity to:
In Special Education Part 1, candidates will gain a general understanding of how to work successfully with students who have various learning needs. This course gives teachers early intervention strategies to identify at-risk students and precise steps to follow to involve the in-school team and ensure that students' needs are met through an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and possibly an Identification, Placement, and Review Committee (IPRC). Candidates will explore the various learning exceptionalities in Ontario and the placement options available in their schools. Through reflection, collaboration, discussion, and research, candidates will develop a wide array of pedagogical approaches that have proven successful when working with identified students. Practical work will include developing useful plans and lessons that can be used readily in the classroom. After completing this course, any teacher should feel well equipped to better understand the needs of students with varied learning profiles and feel confident in their ability to adequately plan for them and report on their progress.
Student assessment and evaluation is an integral part of the teaching and learning process. Teachers in Ontario, and elsewhere, are required to use diverse forms of assessment to support and communicate progress in learning to students, parents, and school administrators. This course will build on your current assessment practices and support you in exploring ways to enhance your use of assessment. Specifically, current assessment theory and practices will be examined with opportunities for you to critically reflect on the integration of these theories and practices into your classroom to support student learning.
English language learners (ELLs) entering Ontario classrooms will arrive with diverse and unique needs. Every ELL will bring unique cultural, social, academic, and linguistic backgrounds to your classroom. This course will enable you to cultivate a classroom environment that embraces diversity and celebrates the identity of every student while supporting ELLs through the difficult transition to their new home. English Language Learners (ELL) Part 1 is designed to provide you an engaging opportunity to explore many of the facets of teaching and learning an additional language. You will have the opportunity to explore the stages of language acquisition and ways to meet the needs of ELLs at the different stages. You will also gain a better understanding of the principles underlying the approaches to teaching the four broad language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. You will examine some of the language demands that exist in curriculum-based lessons and learn how to scaffold appropriately and set realistic and manageable goals for ELLs. Your heightened awareness and deeper understanding will help you approach situations with greater confidence, competence, and preparation. You will have many opportunities to engage with colleagues in thoughtful discussions and challenge some of your own and others' preconceived notions about language learning and teaching. Prepare to be challenged, reflective and willing to keep an open mind as you explore the many fascinating areas of teaching English language Learners (ELL) and working with ELLs.
In this course you will:
This course focuses on the theory and practice to support students with learning disabilities. Throughout this course, you will explore the various definitions and characteristics of learning disabilities. Through discussion and collaborations, you will discover cognitive, academic, and social-emotional implications of LD and generate ways to develop a positive learning environment for students with LD. You will address how social-emotional issues affect academic outcomes, research various academic strategies, and brainstorm the implications of psychological processes for students with LD. You will be provided with the opportunity to apply your learning to developing student profiles, transition plans, and gain applicable strategies that you can use in your teaching practice.
This course focuses on learning disabilities (LD):
Technology is an integral part of our lives and has enhanced the quality of life for many of us. Assistive Technology creates equal opportunities and access for all learners including students with exceptionalities. In this course, the candidate will investigate the various devices and services available, but more importantly the candidate will develop a real world student-centered assistive technology program that can be applied in the classroom. As well as exploring the theoretical background and framework for understanding assistive technology, the candidate will extend and apply his/her knowledge of different high, mid and low tech devices and services and will reflect on the ethics and application of assistive technology in the classroom.
Learning activities in this course include:
Experiencing an Ontario classroom is an important part of preparing to teach in Ontario. Candidates will gain school experience through either a 20-day practicum OR interactive school experiences. We will do our best to place each candidate in a practicum but cannot guarantee a practicum placement due to teacher shortages.
You’ll take part in workshops designed to help you apply for jobs in Ontario. They focus on resume writing, job search, and interview preparation. You’ll also have an opportunity to attend a job fair and receive help with your Ontario College of Teachers application.
Throughout the program, you’ll engage in experiential learning opportunities, such as participating in a volunteer program, visiting local schools, and working with community groups related to education. Students will also have the opportunity to be involved in Indigenous initiatives including visits from Queen’s University Elders and other members of the local Indigenous community. These experiences will allow you to apply your learning both inside and outside the traditional school system.

In-person delivery format refers to a method of delivering educational or training content through face-to-face interactions between the instructor and the participants. This format involves physical attendance of participants at a designated location, such as a classroom, conference center, or training facility, where they can interact with the instructor and each other in real-time. This mode of delivery allows for immediate feedback and direct engagement between the participants and the instructor, fostering a collaborative and dynamic learning experience. In-person delivery is often considered more personal and interactive than remote or online delivery methods and provides opportunities for hands-on activities, group discussions, and other forms of interaction.
Students that complete all the requirements of this program may be eligible for a three-year Post-Graduate Work Permit, but the final decision is determined by Immigration, Refugees, Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
As of March 19, 2024, spouses/partners of ITT students are no longer eligible for a SOWP.
Yes. You can do it here: Applicant Eligibility Assessment | Ontario College of Teachers (oct.ca) . Remember, the self-assessment only gives you a general idea of your eligibility for the OCT certification. It is strongly recommended that you apply to OCT first. You maybe eligible for OCT without any conditions. If not, they will give you detailed recommendations as to the additional work for you to acquire OCT registration.
Yes, but please make sure you select the correct receiver, PS Queens. This applies to IELTS results only.
Yes. English is the primary language of instruction and communication at the ITT program and Queen’s University. Applicants must demonstrate an adequate level of proficiency in English, regardless of their citizenship status or country of origin. However, knowing French will be an asset when it comes to finding teaching jobs in Ontario.
No. Montessori follows an independent approach, and their program does not meet the OCT’s registration requirements. We recommend that candidates with Montessori background apply to OCT first and then apply to our program with proof of OCT eligibility.
The OCT accepts distance education programs, if they included a face-to-face practicum. We recommend that candidates with degrees completed online apply to the OCT first and then apply to our program with proof of OCT eligibility.
Please refer to Country Specific Information on OCT website to see if you need to provide teaching qualifications during the time of application. If the answer is yes, you must submit active teaching qualifications. Those qualifications should be verifiable when needed.
No, but it will enhance your application and help us plan the practicum component in the ITT program.
While Queen’s University will work diligently to provide you with information and training within the ITT Program to support your journey towards Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) certification, we cannot guarantee that you will attain OCT certification upon completion of the program. Obtaining OCT certification is dependent on various factors, including meeting the OCT's requirements, completing necessary assessments, and fulfilling any additional conditions that may be attached to your application. Queen’s is committed to assisting you throughout this process, but the ultimate decision regarding certification rests with the OCT. We encourage you to actively engage in the program, seek guidance from faculty and advisors, and diligently fulfill all requirements to enhance your chances of achieving OCT certification.
If the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) attaches specific conditions to your application, it typically means that they have identified areas where additional qualifications or coursework are needed for you to become certified as a teacher. This may involve completing additional undergraduate coursework or undertaking additional Additional Qualification (AQ) programs. These additional requirements could incur extra costs outside the Internationally Trained Teachers (ITT) Program. Furthermore, you may find yourself needing to teach a different age group than the one you are currently qualified for.

Those who pursue education as a career will undergo courses that are designed to train future educators. Fortunately, there is a wide variety of courses designed for students who wish to supplement any teaching credentials. These courses are offered at various institutions across the globe.

What is a graduate certificate? A graduate certificate is a post-baccalaureate qualification awarded by colleges, universities, and technical schools around the world. Depending on where the certificate is awarded, a graduate certificate confers either bachelor- or master-level qualifications. For example, in the UK and other Commonwealth countries, a graduate certificate is awarded to undergraduate students; in the US, graduate certificates are a post-graduate qualification and may be issued as part of a master’s or PhD program. Students usually pursue a graduate certificate after completing at least one undergraduate degree. A certificate earned at a bachelor level may have a more limited scope than one earned at a master level because of the student’s different experience with her or his field of study. Scholars may pursue this education to gain a deeper understanding of their chosen field or to prepare themselves for a promotion. The cost of a graduate certificate will depend on the country and institution where you study, though in some countries the cost of a graduate certificate is significantly less than tuition in a traditional master’s degree program. A graduate certificate program may also take less time to complete than a full bachelor’s or master’s degree program.

Staff sunday with ryan baldassario.
Welcome to Staff Sunday! For the next few weeks we will be spotlighting different members of the University of Connecticut (UConn) School of Public Policy ( SPP ) staff! We kick off our features with Director of Engagement Ryan Baldassario !
While attending Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) he was supported in his pursuit for a career in higher education by his mentors and supervisors at the Student Center. During his time at CCSU, Ryan spent a year working for the United States House of Representatives. This is when he realized his passions lied in working with students, and he went on to pursue a Master’s in Higher Education at UConn.
Ryan joined the then Department of Public Policy in February 2022 as our Director of Engagement. He explains, “I was intrigued by the opportunity to learn more about career advising, oversee internship and outreach programs, and have a direct influence on the next generation of public servants.” Before joining our staff, Ryan began pursuing a Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management ( NPM ) with SPP.
He encourages prospective students to choose SPP because of the faculty. Ryan says, “The faculty are super knowledgeable in their respective fields and work well with students. Our staff team works their tails off to pull off a slate of programs, events, and student services – and their passion for seeing students and partners be successful and leave with smiles is inspiring to me.” In 2022, Ryan took his passion for service to Chicago for his first Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration ( NASPAA ) conference. This experience has been his favorite with SPP since he began working in Hartford, Connecticut. While at NASPAA, he was able to work with others in the field and showcase the work of our network during a panel on how to “Uplift and Engage: Strategies for Sustainable Development of Public Sector Ecosystems.”
For students in Hartford, Ryan tells them they should take advantage of the opportunities that SPP, UConn, UConn Hartford and local professional organizations have to offer. , He adds, “Whether an undergrad or graduate student – you don’t have to say “yes” to every single opportunity, but keep your eyes towards the horizon and take some chances that future you will be happy you did.” Thanks Ryan for being our first feature of the Staff Sunday!
