Program details

Overview

The Qualifying Master's in Secondary Education (Maitrise qualifiante en enseignement au secondaire) is a 45-credit, part-time, second-cycle programme at the Universite de Sherbrooke, delivered entirely at a distance, leading to the Master of Education and, on completion, the Quebec teaching licence. It deepens students' knowledge of psychopedagogy, initiates specialization in the didactics of one or more teaching subjects, and develops professional competencies built on candidates' existing teaching experience, including systematic analysis of professional practice and intervention methods in the school setting. Coursework addresses the thirteen professional competencies in Quebec's teaching-profession competency framework, covering lesson planning and delivery, assessment, classroom management, attention to student diversity, family and community collaboration, digital-technology use, ongoing professional development, and ethical practice.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 2.70 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a relevant first-cycle degree and demonstrate a minimum cumulative average of 2.7 on a 4.3 scale, or equivalent academic results. Applicants must have completed 45 credits of coursework in the discipline linked to their intended teaching stream, with remedial disciplinary coursework possible if needed, and must hold an active teaching position in that discipline at a recognized Quebec secondary school (or, for the English- or French-as-a-second-language streams, a primary school). For the English-as-a-second-language stream, candidates must also demonstrate strong English proficiency, either through a secondary, college or university credential earned in English or through a recognized test score: TOEFL iBT 100 overall with a minimum of 20 per section, TOEFL Essentials 8 across all four sections, or IELTS Academic 6.5 across all four sections.
