A Message from the Registrar

Thank you for your interest in the initial teacher education programs of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto (OISE/UT). We offer an innovative, challenging and evolving approach to teacher education. Our programs will be of interest to applicants who bring a sound academic background combined with education-related experiences which have given them insights into teaching and learning at the grade levels they wish to teach.

This guide has been designed to assist prospective students who are interested in either the Bachelor of Education Degree (B.Ed.) or Diploma in Technical Education (Dip.T.Ed.) one-year initial teacher education programs. It contains important information on admission requirements and procedures as well as basic information about the programs themselves. Please refer to the table of contents for a detailed breakdown of the information provided. I feel confident that most of your questions will be answered by reading this information carefully. However, should you require additional information do not hesitate to contact us.

Please note also that this Admission Guide is just one part of a much larger OISE/UT web site which contains a wide variety of information of interest to teachers and prospective teachers. I invite you to take a tour and sample some of this information for yourself. The OISE/UT site is itself part of a larger University of Toronto web site which has information relevant to anyone interested in studying at the University of Toronto.

I wish you all the very best as you seek to enter the teaching profession.

Dr. Eucline C. Alleyne
Registrar
