Teaching

Program Overview

The Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) offers a graduate program in Teaching, leading to the Master of Teaching (MT) degree. Students have a unique educational opportunity that combines teacher qualification with advanced study of educational theory and an opportunity to conduct research. The program provides students with a strong grounding in curriculum, human development, ethics, educational law, diversity, educational technology, teaching, and learning.

This teacher education program offers the opportunity for elementary and secondary student teachers to deepen their knowledge of all aspects of teaching. The high level of academic rigour, combined with increased practice teaching experiences enhances and extends the theoretical and practical knowledge of students preparing to become teachers. The program includes formal coursework, teaching and research seminars, practice teaching, internship, and a major research project.

University of Toronto students may also be interested in a combined degree program. See Combined Degree Programs for options.

The Master of Teaching program is one of two degrees offered at OISE that allow graduates to teach as licensed teachers in the province of Ontario.
