CTL Students’ Association
What is the CTLSA?
The CTLSA is the Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning Students’ Association. Every position, including the executive ones, is filled with non-paid student volunteers.
What does the CTLSA do?
The CTLSA primarily serves CTL students, and advocates for the student position to the CTL department, and to the OISE community as a whole. The CTLSA also represents CTL interests to the Graduate Students’ Association (GSA), the larger student body governing all of the graduate students at OISE.
There are also representatives required for programs within the CTL department, such as CIDE, MT, and SLE. As well, there are numerous positions available for various CTL councils and degree programs that require a student voice, e.g. Ph.D flex-time, MA, M.Ed, Academic Appeal Board, CTL Council, GSA, International Students, OISE Faculty Council, Web Design/Technology, etc.
The CTLSA also runs socials every terms, and Doc Talks, a weekly seminar that invites guest lecturers, and aims to help make transparent the academic processes involved in being a doctoral student.
How does the CTLSA work?
The CTLSA has an executive team, comprising of a President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary, that goes to election every academic year in September/October. If you have a special skill and/or talent, and would like to help out with the CTLSA, please do not hesitate to contact us.
What are the benefits of getting involved?
CTLSA membership looks great on your CV; builds leadership skills, and changes your perspective by bring you to the inside of the mechanism of the institution that we call our academic home, OISE/UT.
Want to get involved?
We are currently looking into student volunteers to organize Graduate Talks. It will be a student-led event that allows MA/M.Ed/Ph.D students, who otherwise may not have contact with one another, to gather and discuss issues relevant to their studies, research, and life as a graduate student. These events are often highlighted by guest speakers who give short informal lectures on prevalent issues and topics. The aim is to create social support, connection and community among graduate students, as well as inviting opportunities for scholarly collaboration and success.
Please email the CTLSA: ctlsaexec@gmail.com, if you are interested.
