Welcome to the Faculty of Education at York University!
As a Faculty of Education student, you’ll grow through a combination of coursework and hands-on practicum experiences. This program is designed to challenge your thinking, encouraging you to find teachable moments in both successes and setbacks. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to learn, unlearn, and relearn as you shape your personal teaching philosophy.
The Faculty of Education Students' Association (FESA) is your connection to all things happening within the Faculty. We are a student-led council that serves as a bridge between the student body, faculty members and external partners. Our mission is to provide meaningful professional development opportunities and to foster community through engaging events and initiatives.
Some of our signature annual events include:
- Professional Development Conference (November)
- Employment and Recruitment Fair (January)
- Year-End Formal (March/April)
Throughout the academic year, we also offer a variety of workshops to support your learning experience. These include sessions on Résumé and Cover Letter writing, Math Proficiency Skills, Coaching in Ontario Schools, and more. FESA also hosts social events and mentorship opportunities to help you connect with your peers and feel supported throughout your journey.
We also encourage you to get involved in our annual fundraising efforts in support of the school in Wikondiek, Kenya.
Be sure to visit our website at www.fesayorku.com and follow us on Instagram @FESAYorkU for the latest updates, events, and resources.
Wishing you all the best in the year ahead—remember, FESA is here for you!
