Elementary Program Options, 2009 – 2010

Welcome
We are pleased that you have chosen to take your teacher education program at our faculty, and look forward to working with you and having you as an active member of the OISE community.

What is an Elementary Program Option?

Candidates in the Elementary Program are organized in cohort groupings which are called ‘options’. Each option is a community of approximately 70 students who work and learn together with a dedicated team of instructors for the majority of their program.
Each option has two coordinators and works with a grouping of 10 – 15 partner schools.
