Why is Western's B.Ed./Dip.Ed. for me?

I chose to go to Western for my education degree because of the extended practicum sessions and the integration of service learning through the transition to professional practice placements. I was eager to have extended time for hands on learning in the classroom and the wider community. – Lindsey Marshall
