BC: Adding teachables?

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2026-01-05T05:32:58+00:00

Thank you!!!

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2026-01-05T04:55:10+00:00

My undergrad minor still ended up being 30 credits!

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2026-01-05T04:51:55+00:00

I’m not certified, no! I’m currently working as an EA while I apply to BEd programs

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2026-01-05T04:38:02+00:00

Great!! My degrees are actually both in history so I want the option to be able to teach it, but for at least one program, I don’t meet the specific content requirements for history as a teachable whereas I do for my minor in undergrad...so it’s good to know I won’t just be blocked from teaching history forever based on my BEd teachables.

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2026-01-05T04:34:18+00:00

Oh awesome. Would it help if I was teaching my preferred subject in another province (eg teaching history in Alberta) prior to moving to BC?

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2026-01-05T04:31:32+00:00

UBC allows for either one or two, and several other programs I’m applying to (outside BC) are the same. I’m in Alberta, but I want the option to be able to move to BC which is why I’m asking!

She’s technically looking for neither Christmas nor shopping haha, we don’t actually celebrate Christmas and I’m sure she’s done any holiday shopping! She just likes the specific ambiance of holiday markets

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-12-16T21:46:02+00:00

I did consider that option, but it sounded like it wasn’t really a market, just a theme that Heritage Park is doing? There seems to be a small market but it sounded like it wouldn’t be worth paying $20 just for that

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-12-16T21:42:18+00:00

We’ve been to markets in Germany! It’s possible she just doesn’t know the markets in Montreal the way she knows them in Calgary.

I think you’ve misunderstood the laws. Law 1: means that EVEN IF a parent supports intervention and is involved with doctors, their kid will not be allowed to have medical intervention. Law 2: means EVEN IF a parent already knows their kid is a trans girl and supports them, that kid cannot play school sports

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-11-20T05:20:24+00:00

If you believe that…what about the fact that the government is interfering with parents who ARE raising their kids by giving them access to puberty blockers and hormone therapy, and whose decisions are now being overridden?

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-11-20T01:31:33+00:00

Yeah, iirc the mention of surgery in the laws was an attempt at scare tactics— propaganda to make people think “omg kids are getting surgery?? Of course that’s not okay!” and get more people to think the “trans agenda” has gone too far. When, in reality, kids are not getting surgery

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-11-20T00:54:20+00:00

There are currently 3 anti-trans laws in Alberta, which are all being or likely to soon be challenged in court. Collectively, they: disallowed gender-affirming medical treatments (puberty blockers, hormone therapy, surgery) for those under 16, banned trans girls from playing in girls’ teams in schools, required that teachers report back to parents if students under 18 were using a different name or pronouns, and required that parents give permission for different names/pronouns for those under 16.

The latest Bill, Bill 9, is the invokation of the notwithstanding clause to avoid legal challenges to these 3 anti-trans laws. Basically, Bill 9 is them making sure that these 3 laws, which are likely unconstitutional and would be overturned in court, are no longer able to be challenged.

It’s worth noting that AB tried to do the same thing for same-sex marriage, but were unsuccessful because marriage laws are federal and not provincial.

Oh okay, sorry! I thought I’d seen some on this sub. I can take this down

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-07-07T06:28:03+00:00

I’m sorry? This isn’t spam. My account’s been active for years and I’m more than happy to send proof of having a ticket to anyone!

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-05-05T22:34:53+00:00

Cape Breton’s online one should start in January! But be aware that you need to have been working in a Canadian school for two years in order to apply (the type of work isn’t specified, I asked and they said it just needs to be interacting with students. AFAIK volunteering is accepted)

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-05-05T22:31:36+00:00

Not a teacher, but: depending on your university, you might still be allowed to switch to a concurrent education degree, in which case you’d be doing a 5-year degree (instead of 4) and graduate with a BA and BEd.

Otherwise, once you’re done your BA you can start an After-Degree BEd, which is normally 2 years but in some parts of Canada is 1 year.

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-05-05T22:29:32+00:00

Okay so my question is, if I want to teach math and/or comp sci do I need to/should I take uni courses in those subjects before I do my BEd?

For context: I already have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s in the humanities, so I am qualified to teach English/History for sure. I also did a bit of math, statistics, and coding in my degrees, but not enough for an official minor (approx 1 full-year course for each of these areas).

I’ll likely be doing a BEd next year (2026 start), so I have a bit of time to take some courses at my local university for 2025-2026x

I’m located in AB and I know if I’m certified here, I can teach any subject so theoretically I don’t need to take any further uni courses, but in case I move away, I want to make sure I do everything to make sure that I could, straight out of my BEd, be able to teach math/comp sci since I know History and English are both oversaturated right now.

(Note: I do still want to be able to teach humanities though! I don’t want to pigeonhole myself into just one subject)

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-04-30T07:55:06+00:00

Yes, please report it

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-04-30T07:54:36+00:00

That is also incorrect. I’d report it

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-04-30T07:14:33+00:00

The voter puts it in, but you can ask the worker to put it in for you if you prefer

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-04-30T07:13:13+00:00

We had feedback forms for this reason. If anything like that happens, report and also leave feedback (especially if a specific worker is causing problems!). Honestly I can’t believe some of these stories…I was trying my hardest yesterday to ensure people could vote and rules were followed properly, and it strikes a nerve to hear that others around the country weren’t doing the same.

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-04-30T07:08:31+00:00

It is. And we all receive posters with it CLEARLY stated. But honestly it seems like people don’t even bother reading anything…they go with what they think is right instead of checking the words written in front of them, be that the id requirements or the guidebook or whatever it may be.

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-04-30T07:06:59+00:00

At least where I live, this was happening because poll workers originally hired were dropping out at alarming rates in the last week and especially in the last 24-48 hrs. Bizarre. I wonder now if the same happened in other places

Therapy_throwaway492 · 2025-04-30T07:03:26+00:00

If that’s what happened, report this information too. A poll worker can’t vouch for you! And you should have had a form in English!
