Education

The bachelor of education program is the worst program you could take at Lakehead - avoid it! I failed the math exam they require you to take and they reassured me that I would pass easily on my other attempts. I was not successful, so now I don't have my Bachelor of Education. I should have applied to other schools. Don't bother with this school because no other school has this test! It puts unnecessary pressure on you when you fail because you have additional course to take on top of your already workload that you now must pay for and worry about. I wouldn't waste my time with a school that sets you up to fail.

They are the only school that requires a math test. You get four chances. The math they test you on has nothing to do with teaching. I was told in my course I was doing fine by my teachers then tanked the test. I asked for tutoring support. I was hot potatoed between admin faculty each saying they couldn't help and to contact the other person. I requested help with tutoring and never heard back. I am looking into other schools. They give you the run around when you are struggling. Pick any other school.

Lakehead Orillia is full of kind, knowledgeable professors who care very much about the work they do and about your success as a future teacher. In most cases, they model what it means to be a good teacher.
