tech teacher fast track.
This is a unique time for skilled tradespeople to fast-track into a career as a technological education teacher in the Toronto District School Board.
The Ministry of Education has added a grade 9 or 10 technological education course to the list of compulsory credits for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. As a result, we need great people like you to bring your expertise to the classroom!
In order to meet the additional staffing requirements anticipated next year, TDSB has partnered with Queen’s University to offer a multi-session Technological Education Teacher Training Program.
We are offering an information session about this program on November 23rd at 7:00pm
For more details on the Queen’s TEMS Program please see this slide deck.
