Governance

A 12-member Council has been established to govern the College. Council is responsible for setting the strategic objectives of the College in order to achieve its statutory mandate.

Council consists of six Ontario Certified Teachers and six members of the public who must not now be, nor ever have been, a member of the teaching profession. Members of the College with a status other than Good Standing (e.g., Inactive / Non-Practising) must reinstate their membership in order to be eligible for a position on Council, a committee or a roster.

Council members are appointed for two-year terms. A person appointed to Council will be limited to no more than six consecutive years of service. Individuals who served on previous councils for a total of six years cannot be appointed until three years have elapsed since their last day of service.
