ONTARIO COLLEGE OF TEACHERS
Advanced degrees
The pursuit of advanced degrees provides educators with rich professional education and learning opportunities.
These educational experiences enable educators to further refine and deepen their professional knowledge, skills, practices and perspectives.
Communicating with the public
Highly knowledgeable, ethical, insightful and skilled educators committed to fos- tering the growth of all learners support
public trust and confidence in the teaching profession. Educators’ ongoing commit- ment to and engagement in multiple forms of ongoing professional learning serves the public interest.
The teaching profession’s deep commitment to engage in rich ongoing professional learn- ing is communicated to the public through multiple transparent communication mech- anisms. This is a shared responsibility and
a direct object of the College’s mandate (Figure 9).
