Teachers in formal and informal leadership roles have the ability to strengthen our school communities by supporting all stakeholders in our students’ education. Support can be in the form of innovative teaching methods, school-level leadership, and building community connections.

Teacher Leadership Part 2 will allow you to refine your leadership skills while gaining a strong understanding of theory and practical leadership applications.

Course Learning Expectations

In this course you will have the opportunity to:

• research leadership styles and theories
• prepare cover letters and resumés and get ready for interviews
• investigate the importance of sharing your accomplishments
• mentor new teachers and teachers in new roles
• explore awards and grants for teacher leaders
• assess technology that teacher leaders can use in classrooms and schools
• compile strategies for facilitating a professional learning session
• plan your leadership development

Application Requirements

1) OCT Membership showing completion of Part 1

2) CONFIRMATION OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE FORM

Signed by a Supervisory Official* from your Board confirming that you have one year (194 days) of teaching experience since becoming a certified teacher.

* 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 if you have an existing Part 2, Part 3 (Specialist), or Honour Specialist qualification on your OCT record you are not required to submit a form for a Part 2 course. A new form is always required for Part 3 (Specialist).
