This program is intended to provide current British Columbia teachers with the knowledge and skills required to teach Industrial Arts, with an Applied Design focus, in B.C. schools.

The pedagogical model in this program is one in which candidates will learn these curricular and pedagogical skills in the contexts of both the classroom and an actual Industrial Arts shop, where effective teaching skills and strategies are learned experientially. Safety is an additional primary focus throughout the program; instruction and practices adhere to BC WorkSafe principles and practices. Applicants who complete this program will have the knowledge, skills, and certification necessary to teach Industrial Arts in B.C. K-12 schools.
