Course Description: Taking an Africentric perspective throughout EDUC 4433 "Assessment for Teaching and Learning" , the Africentric Bachelor of Education Cohort pre-service teachers are introduced to the principles of assessment, focusing on the creation, use, interpretation and analysis of multiple and appropriate assessment tools and measures, the alignment of assessment with instruction, and the use of assessment data, gathered from a range of sources, for a variety of purposes, including addressing achievement gaps.

Qualifications :



Successful candidates will possess a Master of Education with a focus on Africentricity or a relevant area of study related to the assessment for teaching and learning as articulated in the course description; or a B.Ed. and five or more years of experience successfully teaching at the elementary school level in culturally relevant and responsive ways.

A record of academic expertise in Africentricity related to the creation of a positive and successful professional teacher identity for pre-service teachers who are African Nova Scotian/ of African ancestry is required.

Relevant experience designing, facilitating, and assessing a university-level teacher education course or community-based education in African Nova Scotian communities is an asset. Successful relevant experience working independently and as part of a team is essential. The Africentric B.Ed. Cohort Program focuses on African Nova Scotian and learners of African descent. Therefore, a racialized and cultural lived experience as an African Nova Scotian/person of African descent living in Nova Scotia and with experience working in the Nova Scotian P-12 system is required. As the B.Ed. is a provincially accredited program,



applicants will be expected to teach to the accreditation standards for this course with a particular focus on Africentricity.

Only short-listed candidates will be contacted.
