Program details

Overview

This 30-credit undergraduate certificate prepares students to work as teaching assistants in Indigenous preschool and primary-level classrooms. The curriculum provides cognitive and practical foundations for understanding the range of learning situations that arise in the classroom and for functioning effectively as a teaching assistant, covering psychopedagogical approaches, child development processes, and the planning of teaching-learning sequences for preschool and primary levels. The programme is delivered in person at UQAC's Saguenay campus and admits students for the Fall and Winter terms. It is intended for individuals working in or preparing to work in Indigenous school settings, and its completed credits can lead into UQAC's related certificate in Indigenous school substitute-teacher training.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission is offered on three bases: holding a DEC; having completed a minimum of 15 university-level credits with a cumulative average of at least 2.3/4.3; or demonstrating college-level knowledge in mathematics, intellectual work methodology, and French through documented evidence, which may require an interview; qualifying applicants may need to complete bridging courses in intellectual work methodology and secondary-level mathematics.
