West Kootenay Teacher Education Program

West Kootenay Teacher Education Program (WKTEP) is located in Castlegar, BC, at the Selkirk College campus, where the Elementary and Secondary (selected specializations) 12-month options of the Bachelor of Education program are available. WKTEP focuses on preparing teachers for rural and small school settings.

We offer the full complement of UBC’s BEd coursework (some online), field experiences, and a 13-week practicum hosted by local area schools. Program dates vary from the UBC-Vancouver Calendar. UBC professors, and local experienced teachers and administrators provide excellent academic and professional coursework and mentoring.

WKTEP graduates are found teaching in BC schools, across Canada, and overseas. Join us and become part of a vibrant rural community rooted in a distinctive blend of cultures and situated within a picturesque mountain landscape.
