Course Schedule

Course Description

The Guidance and Career Education Part 2 course examines the diverse roles of a Guidance teacher/counsellor.

Candidates will learn about:

• various aspects of student career development (K-12)
• ethical/legal case situations
• Guidance programs, community resources, and counselling skills This course is suitable for all teachers as it not only enhances one's interpersonal and communication skills, but outlines methods of support for student success.

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).
