Professional Self Regulation | Ontario College of Teachers



In 1997, the Ontario government passed legislation to enable the teaching profession to regulate itself.
The teaching profession, through its College,
  • sets the requirements for entering teaching
 To teach in Ontario’s publicly funded schools, a teacher must be certified by the Ontario College of Teachers. Certified teachers pay an annual membership fee to maintain their membership and certification.
  • certifies qualified teachers
 To be certified, teachers must:
  • have completed a minimum three-year postsecondary degree from an acceptable postsecondary institution
  • have successfully completed a one-year acceptable teacher education program
  • apply to the College for certification and pay the annual membership and registration fees. Application process includes providing proof of identity and a Canadian Criminal Record Check Report.
  • develops and maintains ethical standards and standards of practice
  • accredits teacher education programs and courses to ensure consistent high quality in the preparation of teachers
  • disciplines those who breach provincial standards for conduct in teaching
Accountable to the public 
An important element of self-regulation for the teaching profession, and any other profession, is public accountability. The College operates in an open and accountable manner. We communicate with the public about what we do and how our work supports public education.
College activities are transparent to the public and information is easily accessible.

Avaliar professores para melhorar (e mesmo só para isso!)



E agora um discurso completamente sensato porém não habitual: avaliar para melhorar, avaliar-se para corrigir... Autoscopia com video-gravações e análise do que se fez durante as aulas...
Não confundir com mecanismos geradores de burorcarias e burrocracias... disfarçados de procedimenos de avaliação!

Mais à frente, a educação

“We’re probably at the death of education, right now,” said Stephen Heppell, a Professor at Bournemouth University, who’s regarded as one of the most influential academics in educational technology. “I think the structures and strictures of school, learning from 9 until 3, working on your own…not working with others…I think that’s dead or dying. And I think that learning is just beginning.”
So…how is technology changing the process of learning, exactly? “There’s a very big difference between ‘access to information’, and ‘school’,” said Seth Godin, entrepreneur, author and public figure. “They used to be the same thing. Information is there online, to any one of the billion people who has access to the Internet. So what that means, is if we give access to a 4-year-old, or an 8-year-old or a 12-year-old, they will get the information if they want it.” Daqui http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/08/22/the-future-of-libraries/
