Welcome

District 13 OSSTF represents approximately 1600 permanent and 300 occasional teachers in Durham region.  Our union provides services to its members to protect them in their work and to enhance their professionalism through professional development workshops, health and safety training, collective agreement in-servicing and regular communications and public relations highlighting the teachers in our schools. 

For Immediate Action:

The OTF Teacher Voice on Assessment (TVA) Survey is an opportunity for secondary school teachers to share their views on the assessment practices they use on a daily basis.  All secondary school teachers in Ontario received an invitation letter from OTF/FEO inviting all teacher members to complete the anonymous survey available at www.surveymonkey.com/tva.  The OTF TVA survey can also be accessed through the OTF/FEO website at www.otffeo.on.ca and from the “Member News” section of the Provincial OSSTF/FEESO website at www.osstf.on.ca.  The survey will be live until March 19, 2010 which is the last Friday of the March Break.

OSSTF/FEESO encourages all teacher members, who are currently teaching courses involving student assessment and evaluation, to complete the survey as frankly as possible.  The input from the members on the confidential 20 minute survey will provide important information that will help OSSTF/FEESO in its advocacy role on issues related to credit integrity and assessment, evaluation, and reporting (AE&R) initiatives from the Ministry and Boards.  The final component of the survey provides an opportunity for any personal comments that you feel are pertinent.  The greater the participation of OSSTF/FEESO teacher members on the OTF TVA survey the more valuable the information that will be collected to help all members of OSSTF/FEESO.

There are 6 spots for teacher members and 3 spots for occasional teachers.  The symposia is for new members with 5 or fewer years of experience.

As District 13 is in Region 4 our members would attend the symposia at the Toronto Airport Sheraton.
