The attached proposal to approved credit in
Education 401 and Education 402 with three hours of unassigned
credit in Education for the ten Community Care Facilities Licensing
Board Courses, contingent on demonstration of competence in
Education 405, was considered by the Senate Undergraduate Admissions
Board at its meeting of 6th March. It should be noted that this
proposal is seen as a rescue operation for a specific group of
people rather than as the provision of an alternate route to
teacher' certification. Consequently, if the proposal is approved
by Senate, the granting of credit will be limited to those people
who completed the courses in question before the end of 1973 and
will be in effect for a period of five years only.
This proposal is now forwarded to Senate for its
consideration, with the Board's recommendation that it be approved.

Last year the Joint Board of Teacher Education expressed concern
regarding the transition of individuals from private kindergartens to
kindergartens sponsored by school districts. In order to facilitate
that transition the universities were encouraged to provide up to 18
semester hours of transfer CL-edit for the cariniunity care courses in
special cases after a candidate denDnstrted carpetence in their
supervised practicum. The proposal of our Faculty of Education was to
provide credit for Education 401, Education 402 and 3 hours of unassigned

credit

reached the Senate Coninittèe on Undergraduate Studies or Senate. It
was referred back to the Faculty of Education by Mr. Evans for additional

be given in the near future.
'The reason for providing the above information is that it relates

Regulations:
I. ?
That credit be granted on recommendation of the Dean.
2.
That credit be limited to students accepted to the Professional Development
Program.
3.
That credit be contingent on successful completion of Education 405.
4.
That in order to be eligible for credit, courses must have been completed
prior to December 31, 1973.
5.
That this provision be made for five years only - i.e. from January 1, 1974
to December 31, 1978
Rationale:
In 1973 legislation brought additional kindergartens under the jurisdiction of school
districts. Under that jurisdiction, kindergarten teachers are required to possess
teaching certificates. Prior to that time one of the major routes to accreditation
for kindergarten teaching was to obtain ten courses and a licence from the Community
Care Facilities Licensing Board. In 1973 the Joint Board of Teacher Education
recognized the potential shortage of trained kindergarten teachers; furthermore had
recognized that among the ranks of people holding the Community Care Facilities
Licensing Board accreditation were a substantial number of committed and competent
kindergarten teachers who might well be displaced when their functions were brought
under the jurisdiction of school districts. For this reason, the Joint Board recommended
that transfer of credit be granted to a maximum of nine units (18 semester hours) in order
to facilitate a career transition..
This provision is
SCVfl
as a "rescue operation" for a specific group of people, not as
10 ?
the precursor of an alternate route to • t eaclier certification. Consequently, it is
- Cont'd. -
-2--
S ?
limited to those people who completed the courses in question prior to the end of
1973 and will only be
in
effect for a period of five years.
The rationale for making credit contingent on successful completion of Education
405
is as follows; it is not the courses per se which are being accredited, but the
competence those courses were designed to develop. Consequently, it Is appropriate
for Simon Fraser University to assess that competence in a context where the candidate
is under its supervision.
Finally, it should be noted that, in accordance with the recommendation of the Joint
Board of Teacher Education, the University of B.C. is already granting equivalent
credit, 1. c. nine units.
