Winter 2011 Event

Elementary Schools and Teachers in Ontario, 1910-1915 and Today: Collections in the OISE Library  

Curious about how much an Ontario elementary teacher would have earned 100 years ago? What kind of teacher training new teachers would have received? What kind of textbooks students would have used? Or maybe you'd just like to see if you would have been able to pass a 1911 high school entrance exam!  Join Marian Press, Kathy Imrie, and Monique Flaccavento for a hands-on session as we  explore materials from our Historical and Curriculum Resources Collections. Some of the differences between elementary schools and teachers between 1910 & 1915 and those of today will be illustrated using unique resources from our collection. 

When? 12-1pm, February 24th

Where? The Ground Floor of the Library

Who? No need to sign up! The event is open to all University of Toronto students, staff, and faculty.
