Appoints Michael Salvatori as next College Registrar
The College Council today appointed former London principal and teacher

Salvatori worked for seven years at the College – most recently
as Director of Membership Services – before taking up a teaching
post at York University’s Glendon College in 2008.
The 42-year-old educator initially came to the College from the London
Catholic District School Board where he worked as a vice-principal
and principal and taught at both the elementary and secondary levels.
He taught core French, French immersion and German, and is the author
or co-author of numerous French textbooks and teacher resources. He
has also taught in France and Italy.
“The Ontario College of Teachers has established itself as a
key foundation of excellence in public education in Ontario,” says
Salvatori. “It maintains a keen focus on protecting the public
interest in public education by licensing first-rate teaching professionals
to provide high-quality learning experiences for students in Ontario,
ensuring consistency in teacher preparedness, promotion of the standards
of the profession and adjudicating matters of discipline. It is a privilege
to serve as the College’s Registrar and to work together with
the College Council, staff and our stakeholders.”
Michael Salvatori’s teaching qualifications are listed on the
