Residency Week
HSED Residency Week (HSEDUC 700 & 707) takes place during the first full week of June every year in Hamilton, ON, Canada. All incoming HSED students, and students nearing completion of their time in HSED, are required to attend all days in-person, including Norman Education Research Day (NERD). Clinical duty does not excuse students from Residency Week. For more information about Residency Week, please see Section 1.6 of the HSED Student Handbook.

Workshop Series
Philosophy Statement & Dossier Sessions
Throughout the academic year, current HSED students are invited to attend an optional virtual statement and portfolio session. These will be held on the second Thursday of the last month of every term. These workshops are open invitations for our students to engage with peers and faculty to further develop their philosophy statement and dossier, regardless of which stage its development is at. Each Term, the Program Office will issue a reminder and a link for HSED students to indicate their intention to attend that term’s session.
For the 2023-24 academic year, the schedule* for Education Philosophy and Capstone Portfolio workshops is:
