The Professional Education of the Catholic Teachers

An historical study of teacher training for Quebec Catholic teachers from the mid-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. Until the mid-twentieth century, teachers for the English Catholic schools of Quebec were prepared within the structure of the French Catholic system of teacher education. During this period training for women teachers took place in English sections of normal schools operated by nuns. A major initiative for the training of men teachers occurred in 1939 with the opening of an English section of the École normale Jacques-Cartier in Montreal.
