Course Schedule

Course Description

*Please note that this course will discuss the newly released Math curriculum (June 23rd) from the summer 2020 session forward.*

In Math Part 2, you will add to your toolbox of teaching strategies and deepen your understanding of how students develop important mathematical ideas. You will gain new ideas for supporting the range of students. You will examine how students develop understandings of concepts related to fractions, spatial reasoning, coding, and algebra, and explore assessment strategies to help you gain a clear understanding of what your students are learning. You will look closely at Strand A of the Mathematics curriculum, exploring research about how to develop the math processes and social emotional learning skills in students. In this course, you will examine research about how memories are created and stored and consider implications for sequencing and organizing learning experiences. This course is a journey to empowerment as a math teacher.

Application Requirements

1) OCT Membership showing completion of Part 1

2) CONFIRMATION OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE FORM Signed by a Supervisory Official* from your Board confirming that you have one year (194 days) of teaching experience since becoming a certified teacher.

*The Ontario College of Teachers defines "Supervisory Official" as the Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent of the school board for a teacher employed by a Board of Education. A principal or headmaster is not recognized in this capacity.

For a teacher employed by a private school, the "supervisory official" is the Ministry of Education official (Education Officer) appointed to your school. For overseas experience the appropriate Supervisory Official is the person your Principal reports to.

**Please note that if you have an existing Part 2, Part 3 (Specialist), or Honour Specialist qualification on your OCT record you are not required to submit a form for a Part 2 course. A new form is always required for Part 3 (Specialist).
