1 You can't get there from here: Mapping access to Canada's teacher education programs Cameron William Smith, Peter Peller Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary
2 Context/Process Initial, exploratory study within a larger research project on rural access and equity through a blended program 1. Locate Canada s Initial Teacher Education Programs (ITEPs) 2. Determine the geographic areas that fall within commuting distance of these ITEPs 3. Calculate: a) The number of people living within those geographic areas b) Rural or urban percentages
3 Problem Distance is a key factor in shaping access to post-secondary education (Hillman, 2016; Turley, 2009) Despite the wide-held belief, there are very few studies that quantify the rural teacher recruitment problem (Miller, 2012, p. 1) To our knowledge, there is currently no study examining geographic access to Canadian teacher education
4 Literature Review Distance matters a significant deterrent, compounding financial, social, health, and emotional burdens (Turley, 2009; Hillman, 2016) University campuses are usually found in major urban centres (Thompson & Gereluk, 2017) Rural areas also struggle to attract and retain qualified teachers and administrators (Barter, 2008, p. 475) both from urban and rural settings professional isolation, measured by the distance to the nearest teacher education program, is associated with a lower likelihood of becoming a rural teacher (Miller, 2012, p. 32)
5 Research Questions: Goal: Explore geographic access to Canadian Initial Teacher Education Programs (ITEPs) How many Canadians live within commuting distance of an ITEP? How are urban and rural populations represented in these zones?
6 Methodology 1. Locate Canada s Initial Teacher Education Programs (ITEPs) Post-secondary institution offering a foundational PD program Usually a B.Ed, lead to teaching certification, and publicly-funded Included all programs we were aware of (ACDE, 2017; Universities Canada, 2017; Thompson & Gereluk, 2017) Included privately-funded, faith-based, and MT programs
7 Methodology cont. 2. Determine the geographic areas that fall within commuting distance of these ITEPs Using ArcMap; Business Analyst Tool Geocoded the address of each ITEP site Calculated 30- and 60-minute Drive Time Areas (DTAs) on road network Monday at 8:00 a.m.
8 Locating ITEPs The street address of the 85 ITEP sites are geocoded by their street address
9 Generating Drive Time Areas (DTAs) 30- and 60- minute DTAs are generated from each site
10 Methodology cont. 3. Calculate a) The number of people living within those geographic areas Population data from the StatsCan Geosuite database Population and Dwelling Count tables downloaded at the Dissemination Block (DB); >489,000 DBs b) DBs are also entirely urban or rural, thus used to delineate the two groups Statistics Canada defines rural areas as all territory lying outside population centres (2016, para. 1). <1,000 population. Intersected the DTAs with census data
11 Locating Populations Census population data is joined at the Dissemination Block (DB)

13 Results How many Canadians live within commuting distance of an ITEP?

21 Discussion With 85 ITEPs across the country, we see high numbers for urban coverage given the location of most sites (30-min 68% and 60-min 86%) Around 60% of rural population must spend more than 2 hours commuting each day to access an ITEP 7.9 million Canadians live more than an hour away from an ITEP site, 3.9 million of which are rural Canadians Distance matters - long commutes are associated with negative health outcomes (see Statistics Canada, 2017), and relocation poses numerous barriers (e.g. Griffith & Rothstein, 2009)
22 Discussion cont. Addressing this geographic access gap is important to strengthening rural teacher labour markets and reducing achievement gaps (Miller, 2012) Geographic access affects enrolment in post-secondary (Turley, 2009) A rural-urban gap exists in Canada (Looker, 2009) it is not enough to get the youth to the PSE institutions, but rather it is important to get the PSE institutions to the rural areas and rural youth (p. 25) Distance is not always a rural issue (Frenette, 2004)
23 Implications This study brings a discussion of geographic access into the Canadian ITE context Provides a sense of the number of Canadians who do and do not live within commuting distance of ITEPs Raises questions around accessibility of ITEPs How much does this affect ITEP application and attendance rates in Canada? How do we bring ITE to students? Are alternative programs an answer? What supports can we provide students who do commute long(er) distances to attend? How does this affect their program engagement?
24 Limitations Only mapped physical sites (e.g. cannot take into account online and blended programs) Assumed an even distribution used data at the smallest available unit Changes to ITEP sites over time; may not be aware of every offering Other influences - not everyone in the commuting zones has the same opportunity (Byun et al., 2012)
