Professional Development in Education courses and programs help you to advance your education and career while developing valuable teaching and leadership skills.
Lakehead University's Faculty of Education provides relevant, high-quality professional development courses that cover many education-based topics. Our goal is to provide meaningful, lifelong learning to certified teachers, education students, and the general public. We offer a wide variety of professional development opportunities that meet the needs of teachers and learners at every stage of their career and education. Each professional development opportunity falls into a specific category based on its requirements, awarded qualifications, and subject matter.
The purpose of Additional Basic Qualification (ABQ) courses is to expand your knowledge of program development, delivery, and assessment in a specific division. ABQ courses allow you to advance your teaching skills by adding knowledge of another division or subject to your teaching qualifications. ABQ courses provide certified teachers with qualifications in the following divisions: Primary, Junior, Intermediate, Senior.
