This ethnographic study examines current Canadian English- and French-language graduate seminar design and teaching practices in faculties of education. A series of interconnected discernible characteristics of graduate seminar design and teaching practices are illustrated on a Cartesian plane, where the (x) axis provides a continuum from professor-led to student-led activities and the (y) axis provides a continuum from knowledge advancement to knowledge application. Implications for talent development through innovative graduate education are discussed.enGraduate seminarTeaching practiceKnowledge advancementKnowledge applicationconference proceedings10.11575/PRISM/5300
