The Concurrent Certificate in Social Sciences and Child and Youth Education is designed to provide undergraduate students with the necessary background knowledge and skills in child and youth development and education to embark upon a variety of careers in child and youth education. In this certificate, students will critically engage with best practices in teaching, critical pedagogy, and EDIIS-informed educational programming for children and youth, with a focus upon Indigenous education. Students will also engage in experiential learning opportunities with youth. Depending upon the elective courses selected, students may learn about child psychology, children’s changing roles and responsibilities within the family, and the science of teaching and learning.
