Northwestern Polytechnic will be launching a new degree for aspiring elementary school educators next year.

The new Bachelor of Elementary Education degree will allow Peace Country residents to obtain their full teaching qualification closer to home.

NWP President and CEO Dr. Vanessa Sheane says NWP has worked hard to identify and establish new degree pathways that reflect local workforce needs and opportunities.

The Bachelor is Elementary Education NWP’s third new degree in under three years.

The school says the program will benefit students with NWP’s focus on work-integrated learning, including weekly learning labs in local schools meant to give them an opportunity to apply their knowledge while teaching literacy and numeracy skills in small-group settings.

Applications for the fall program will open soon.
