Administrative history
Queen's first Faculty of Education was founded in 1907, but closed in 1920, when the training of teachers in Ontario was centralized in Toronto. The present Faculty dates from 1965, when the province approved the Duncan McArthur College of Education, a Queen's-affiliated college. Named after a former head of the University's Department of History, who became Ontario's Minister of Education, the College registered its first 40 students in the 1968-1969 academic year, under the Deanship of Queen's alumnus Vernon Ready. By 1971, the college had been renamed the Faculty of Education in order to clarify its relationship with Queen's, and had moved to its present home in Duncan McArthur Hall, located at the University's West Campus. The Faculty trains students as teachers in all school subjects and for all levels from Kindergarten to high school. There is also a Concurrent Education (ConEd) program, which combines teacher training with regular undergraduate studies in the Faculty of Arts and Science, or at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario. The Faculty also offers several alternative education programs: Aboriginal Teacher Education; Artist in Community Education; Continuing Teacher Education; the Cooperative Program in Outdoor and Experiential Education. The Faculty also operates the Queen's School of English, who offers non-credit courses in English as a second language.
