The Acadia School of Education is currently undergoing an accreditation review by the MPHEC (Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission) as are all university education programs in the province. This accreditation review is primarily to assess if the program is meeting the provincial requirements for accreditation of new teachers. Our program is designed carefully with the provincial requirements in mind, and we are required every few years to participate in this process.

The external accreditation panel will be visiting Acadia for a site visit from April1-3 and has requested a time to meet with graduated students (within the last five years) of the B.Ed. program. It will be a hybrid meeting (Teams and in-person) on Tuesday, April 1 from 4:15-4:45PM.

Please sign up by 8am on Monday, March 31 by emailing your full name and graduating year to [email protected] so we can send you the in-person meeting location and Teams link.

Starting April Board Game night will be going through theme nights, so if you’ve ever been curious now is the time to check it out! We meet every Thursday at 6pm in the basement lounge of Sem, but feel free to come when you can.
We’re still planning the future theme nights so if you have any suggestions or maybe some questions about board game night itself contact Alex MacAloney. Hope to see you there! 👾🎮🎲🃏

Meet Martin Andrew Morrison (PhD)! Martin is from the historical African Nova Scotian communities of Danvers and Southville. He is the proud father of six children and three grandchildren. He is an Associate Professor in the School of Education at Acadia University. He is tremendously proud of the development and implementation of the African Nova Scotian Historical and Contemporary Perspectives course and his contributions to the Africentric Bachelor of Education Cohort (The ABC).

When asked what excites him about education, he said this; “Education offers a unique opportunity for teachers and students to come together as a community of learners to exchange ideas, understandings, and live experiences. These learning opportunities ought to seek to create understandings across our differences in the interest of being/becoming responsive to the multiple social, emotional, academic, and cultural needs of our students, their families, and our communities. When our educational institution seek to centre the dignity and humanity of their staff and students, they exemplify the best in all of us”.

I asked Martin what he has as a final message, and he said this; “’Until the lions have their own historians, the hunt will always glorify the hunter’ (African Proverb). Stories have both power and positionality; knowing who the narrative serves often tells you as much as the narrative itself. Stay curious and critical in the interest of the truth”.
