MT News & Updates: January 2025
Curriculum Renewal Update
Phase 1: Contextualization
Throughout Fall 2024, the Curriculum Renewal team gathered data from school district and federation representatives and members of the MT Teacher Education Advisory Committee (TEAC). The team also reviewed new literature and strategic documents from the Ontario Teachers Federation and school districts, and TDSB census data. These sources have helped to deepen understanding of the current context of education and to strengthen partnerships.
We have been learning from two new and two existing site-based cohorts; the Year 1 Ethics and Law courses; the Junior/Intermediate Drama and Dance intensives; and a variety of program delivery options. Ongoing data collection and analysis continues with our MT Instructor Community and student midpoint and exit surveys.
Through the winter the team will gather insights from other teacher education programs and external partners and will also draw upon our CTL community to inform and guide program and curriculum development.
