My mother is my mentor.\"<\/p>\n<p>Mindy, as a member of the very first graduating class of 17 students, recalled that there was no specific program set out, as it was a pilot project. The main focus was on the practicum and associated seminar, and only the concurrent program was available.<\/p>\n<p>Today, York\u2019s Faculty of Education offers both a concurrent and consecutive BEd program graduating over 1,000 students annually, a graduate program in education, and numerous teacher in-service courses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not only will Kimberly Pollishuke be receiving the Patricia E.
