The Teacher Leadership Specialist course provides teacher leaders with the opportunity to consolidate the leadership learning gained as they progressed through the series of AQ courses. In the Specialist course, candidates will continue to learn about leadership while sharing their thoughts on leadership to an open blog.

Course Learning Expectations

In this course you will have the opportunity to:

• create a leadership blog
• explore the Ontario Leadership Framework
• plan a professional learning opportunity session for colleagues
• consider the role of teacher coaches
• develop an inquiry-based lesson
• plan an action research project

Application Requirements

1) OCT Membership showing completion of Part 2.

2) CONFIRMATION OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE FORM

Signed by a Supervisory Official* from your School Board confirming that you have two years (388 days) of teaching experience since becoming a certified teacher, one year (194 days) of which is in the subject area of this course.

*The Ontario College of Teachers defines “Supervisory Official” as the Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent of the school board for a teacher employed by a Board of Education. A principal or headmaster is not recognized in this capacity. For a teacher employed by a private school, the “supervisory official” is the Ministry of Education official (Education Officer) appointed to your school. For overseas experience the appropriate Supervisory Official is the person your Principal reports to.

**Please note that a new form is always required for a Part 3 (Specialist) course as experience is course/subject specific.
