Teacher Special Education Gateway Website

In the Fall of 2009, the Ontario Teachers' Federation embarked on the development of a web-based resource for teachers on special education with funding from the Ministry of Education.
After extensive time and research, OTF was able to create this amazing repository of All things Special Education Related.  This free and easy-to-use resource is especially helpful for non-specialist teachers, as well as support staff and parents.
We encouraged you to bookmark this website as one of your favourites http://www.teachspeced.ca/ because once you visit, you will be coming back often.

Registration for the April 8th, Designated, Paid, Full-Day Professional Development Event at Althouse College sponsored by our Board and ETFO TVOT Local is on-going!  To date, over 600 members have registered.  Many of the workshops are offering free resources to participants. Remember to register for 1 full-day session or 2 half-day sessions in order to meet Board requirements for a full-day's pay!
