About the Faculty

The Education building at the University of Regina

The Faculty of Education at the University of Regina has a fine reputation for strong undergraduate teacher education programs, graduate programs and adult education. The Faculty has excellent longstanding relationships with educational agencies in the province and has been a leader in educational developments over the years. Our motto, "Inspiring and Transforming Education", is reflected in the abstract logo of the emergence of a butterfly from a cocoon symbolic of the Faculty, which is always emerging, and in the process transforming what education means while being transformed by those new understandings. Students and faculty journey together on this search to better understand education in order to bring meaningful change to their practice.

The structure of the Faculty features an administrative component consisting of a Dean, three Associate Deans (Faculty Development and Human Resources, Student Services and Undergraduate Programs, Research and Graduate Programs) and a Director of Professional Development and Field Experiences, a variety of Faculty programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and an array of subject area groupings that bring together faculty with similar disciplinary interests. Various committees involve the active participation of faculty members in the work of the Faculty. Several Aboriginal teacher education programs are associated with the Faculty: Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program (SUNTEP, Regina), Northern Teacher Education Program (NORTEP, La Ronge), Indian Education (First Nations University of Canada, Regina), Yukon Native Teacher Education Program (YNTEP, Whitehorse), and Nunavut Teacher Education Program (NTEP). Special units in the Faculty include the Saskatchewan Instructional Development and Research Unit (SIDRU), the Centre for Social Justice and Anti-oppressive Education (link), and the Centre for International Education and Training (CIET).

The mission statement for the Faculty states:

The Faculty of Education serves society by educating classroom teachers, preparing educational leaders, providing leadership and support for training and development, conducting educational research, and engaging in provincial, national and international programs and projects. The Faculty of Education is committed to ideals of service, outreach and the collaborative processes that flourish in a community of caring and mutual respect.
