Requirements and Fees for Qualifying as a Teacher
If you are interested in becoming certified as a teacher in Ontario by the Ontario College of Teachers, you need to determine what kind of teacher you are. The College certifies teachers based on the age of children taught and the subjects they were trained to teach, either in General Studies or Technological Studies. When you submit your application for certification to the College, you will need to specify whether you are a teacher of General Studies or Technological Studies, as defined below.
General Studies - a teacher of General Studies teaches subjects in either elementary school or high school other than those considered as Technological Studies. These include math, science, English, history, etc. (see below).
Technological Studies - a teacher of Technological Studies teaches secondary school subjects, including construction, manufacturing, and transportation, etc. (see below).
The requirements to become certified as a teacher of General Studies and Technological Studies are different, so it is essential you follow the appropriate path toward certification.
