OECTA’s Teachers as Leaders Conference is part of our RISE: Member Engagement Series.

Participants will participate in a variety of workshops that interest them, on topics that include:

faith formation
accessibility, inclusion, diversity, and equity;
culturally responsive pedagogy;
effective communication;
maintaining professional boundaries;
mental health and wellness;
political advocacy and activism;
understanding your collective agreement;
your legal rights;
and more!

The event will take place at the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel & Suites in Richmond Hill on April 3-4, 2025.
