Orientation to Teaching in Ontario

This course will cover Ontario’s curriculum, policies, frameworks, strategies and guidelines informed by evidence-based research and practices. You will explore course content by examining instructional best practices and developing practical tasks, exploring effective ways to support all learners in the classroom, collaboratively developing individual education plans (IEPs), and investigating impactful assessment and reporting strategies. This course is designed to view education through a lens of equity, diversity and inclusion, and it also focuses on how to weave Indigenous pedagogies into one’s learning environment in a respectful and appropriate manner. Collaborative discussion with colleagues will be an important aspect of learning throughout this course, and it will conclude with the compilation of a final portfolio.
