OISE :: Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto

Welcome to the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education

Standing on the shoulders of one of the world's greatest universities, the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto (Institut d'études pédagogiques de l'Ontario de l'Université de Toronto), OISE, has for more than a century, made a major contribution to advancing education at home and around the world. With more than 72,000 alumni, 3,000 students (initial teacher education and graduate programs), close to 7,000 continuing education students, and 20 research centres, ours is a unique academic environment supporting a scholarly community second-to-none. OISE is at a special moment in its history, setting new directions and positioning for the future with a new strategic plan, new leadership team, and transitioning to a new departmental structure. Guided by our commitment to equity and social justice, and mindful of our special responsibility to lead, we will enhance our impact as we continue to shape how the world thinks and goes about education.

Bullying Awareness: Reclaiming our Schools
Workshop with Vanessa Hamilton

Time: Wednesday, February 8 -
Location: 2-211

Bullying Awareness: Reclaiming Our Schools is a comprehensive resource, an in-school awareness campaign, and a series of workshops created to educate people of the often long-term effects of bullying on our students and families, schools, and the greater community. Through the education and integration into classrooms and curriculum, we aim to establish an awareness of bullying behaviour in all of its forms, while providing sound strategies for the implementation of education and intervention in schools. This interactive workshop will explore the issue and provide tools necessary to help eradicate bullying in our schools.
