Kooteney pass is where it's at mang. have you already gotten in? good luck. UBC runs a teaching certificate program through Selkirk college at the Castelgar campus. I havn't found out if I've been accepted into it yet. Hopefully in the next week or two I have been accepted into SFU's program though If I get into Selkirk I'll probably take that option as then I can make contacts out there and hopefully get a teaching job after Link to post Share on other sites

daver 0 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 right on man. good luck with it. i'm thinking about applying to the same programme. just curious, did SFU and UBC take your teaching experience here in japan into consideration? i know that back in ontario it counts for squat. which is sad. on another note, have you ever been to the selkirks? if you get in are you planning on living in castelgar? or is it feasable for you to live in the much more fun and happy/hippy town of nelson?

damian 0 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Reading that makes it sound like you've had a great life man, good motivator, good role model. Lets share some couloir time in the future. (ps - I didn't know that it was you that I shared the room with one night in Niseko. Remember when I slept on the floor and kept asking in the morning if there was a brothel in town?)

I don't have any other teaching experience and they want you to have a tonne if they accept you. So I guess they did take me being an ALT for 3 years as experience. For SFU I was only on the wait list though and just recently got accepted. So maybe they don't rate it as highly I'll probably be living in Castlegar at first if I go to Selkirk. I know it's kind of a hole but that's where classes are. I'd really like to live in Rossland. I love that town. Nelsen would be cool as well. I could do the hippy thing.

me jane 0 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Good Luck Toque! Hope you still get the time to post lots on here. Daver, a friend of mine went back to the UK to get her teaching licence after teaching in Japan and while it didn't count for anything on the course she was able to start her first job a couple of grades higher on the pay scale. Don't know if that would apply to Canada. Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Yo Toque, was great having you on the forum. Thanks for all the pics, journals, controvertial opinions and humour . Looking forward to hearing about your Canadian adventures back on this very forum next year. Take it easy dude. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 He's not gone folks, no need for the byebyes! I'm sure he'll be around here even when he's not in Japan as well. Looks like lots of us hope so anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Nice read Toque. Your Dad sounds like a good guy getting you out in the montains early-I have the same secret plan for my girls actually. Cheers for the one and only(sort hike though it was) backcountry trip I did this season. Good luck with the studies and the "real" teaching mate. Link to post Share on other sites
