Student Groups
Faculty of Education Students are represented by:

Education Student Council (EdSC)

The EdSC is an important part of the Faculty of Education student experience. They provide:
Professional Development (PD)
PD sessions are offered most Wednesdays during the regular session and while students are on the U of M campus. PD topics include job preparation and relevant educational issues. For a complete list of event details visit the Education Events Calendar.

These events are designed for Bachelor of Education students, however other University of Manitoba students, faculty, and staff are welcome to attend.


Education Exposition (Ed Expo)
Ed Expo is a three-day event for University of Manitoba teacher candidates, which is organized and hosted by student volunteers from the EdSC. The main purpose of Ed Expo is for students to learn more about different school divisions, network, and explore employment options.

Ed Expo 2013 will take place from Monday, January 28 to Wednesday, January 30.

The information day portion of Ed Expo will be held on January 28th. The remaining two days have been set aside for pre-arranged interviews with University of Manitoba teacher candidates.

Teacher Candidate Mentor Program (Big Sib, Little Sib)
The teacher candidate mentor program (Teacher Ca.M.P.) will match newly admitted Bachelor of Education students to returning students in the program. Mentors and mentees will be encouraged to form positive professional relationships so that all students have the opportunity to undergo personal and professional growth. Students will attend special mentor events, participate actively in academic and social activities on a casual basis, share experiences and ask questions. The 2012-2013 academic year will be the program pilot.
