In honour of World Teachers' Day, we're inviting Ontarians to share their thoughts about the best qualities of a favourite teacher on social media, using #GreatTeachersAre.

Do you know a fellow teacher who really stands out, who's particularly passionate, inspiring or determined? Here's a chance to celebrate them. Visit our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn pages between Sept. 30 and Oct. 5, and help us spread the word about the great work teachers do.

At its September 27 meeting, College Council approved a series of motions to recommend governance model changes for Council and Council committees responsible for regulating the teaching profession in the public interest.

Council recommended a sortition process (randomly selected members invited to apply) for future professional Council members and a selection process for future committee members. Both processes involve a series of core competencies to be developed by Council.

Other motions include requiring newly elected professional members to complete a governance course before assuming their position. With the passage of Bill 48 this past April, the government is drafting further legislation to make changes to the College’s governance model. The College continues to communicate with the Ministry regarding Council decisions in order to inform their process.

Until the government’s legislative changes have passed, the current governance model continues to exist.

The test will be a requirement for College certification.
