Abstract
The Faculty of Education and a High School partnered for five semesters to deliver an integrated course which combines a first year teacher education course, ECS 100, with grade 12 English, Psychology and Career and Work Exploration. This project was developed to support “unlikely” students move from high school to pre-service teacher education. The purpose of the research was to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities of this integrative approach and consider ways to support high school student’s transition into teacher education programs . T ransformational grounded theory guided data collection and analysis. Data was collected through two individual interview cycles with 23 students and one cycle of group interviews, for a total of 49 interviews. An Indigenous scholar was the critical friend throughout the study and supported the decolonizing component of the research. The findings are discussed in the context of the ways the teachers and the professor negotiated five contradictions. As the students readied themselves for teacher education, the researchers turned their gaze to wonder if teacher education structures had readied itself for diversity. The contradictions between calling for diversity and addressing structural inequities became more evident as we understood the needs of our students.
