OTF CONNECTS
Free – Online PL Opportunities
The Ontario Teachers’ Federation cares about supporting your learning and is pleased to continue to offer OTF Connects. The OTF Connects program is online, ongoing support developed by teachers for teachers.
This year, OTF Connects is supporting teachers in the following areas: Mathematics; Technology; Revised Curriculum; Kindergarten; and Financial Literacy. OTF members are empowered to share and interact with their colleagues to broaden and deepen their learning in areas relevant to their teaching.
The easy-to-use webinar technology provides you and your colleagues with free, effective PD. Accessible from home or your mobile device, OTF Connects webinars allow you to learn, share and collaborate with other teachers across the province.
Teachers leave each session with useful ideas for their classroom that can be used immediately.
We know you will find OTF Connects a source of inspiration!
