Our History
1857
平特五不中 Normal School (Belmont Street, Montreal) was established at 平特五不中 by agreement between the University and the Government of Quebec, with the mandate to educate Quebec's public elementary and secondary school teachers. William Dawson was the first Principal and the first class was only 40 students. From 1857 to 1907, the 平特五不中 Normal School trained 2,989 teachers and issued 4,118 diplomas.
1900s
平特五不中 Normal School was re-named the School for Teachers and was moved to Macdonald College (Ste. Anne de Bellevue) in 1907. The Macdonald Chair of Education was established at 平特五不中 and a Department of Education was created within the Faculty of Arts and Science. In 1912, The 平特五不中 School of Physical Education was founded.
1930s
The first graduate program in Education was inaugurated.
1950s
The University established the Bachelor of Education degree in 1950. In 1955, the School for Teachers and the Department of Education were combined to become the Institute of Education, within the Faculty of Arts and Science. The 平特五不中 School of Physical Education became a part of the Institute of Education in 1957.
1960s
The Institute was reconstituted as the Faculty of Education in 1965, with work taking place on both the 平特五不中 and the Macdonald campuses.
1970s
In 1970, St. Joseph Teachers College and the Faculty of Education merged and the Faculty was relocated in a new building at 3700 McTavish, on the 平特五不中 Campus. The 平特五不中 Native and Northern Education Program, was created in the mid-1970s partnering the Faculty with the Kativik School Board (now Kativik Ilisarniliriniq) to provide community-based teacher education for Inuit school staff.
