Since 1981, the OTF Curriculum Forum (Forum) has provided a unique avenue for professional learning and networking opportunities among the Subject, Division and Special Interest Associations (SDAs) as well as between the SDAs and OTF. The Forum also provides an active and important liaison between the SDAs and the Ministry of Education.
Members of the Forum are OTF, the OTF four Affiliates (AEFO, ETFO, OECTA, OSSTF) and over 50 SDAs. There is an open invitation to all formally established Ontario-based Associations to apply for membership in the Forum by applying to the OTF Executive.
The Forum meets three times during each school year—fall, winter and spring. The direction and work of the OTF Curriculum Forum is supported by a seven-member OTF Curriculum Forum Steering Committee which is composed of an OTF staff member, one elected representative from each of four SDAs and two Affiliate staff members.
The 2025–2026 OTF Curriculum Forum Steering Committee members are
- Peter Beens (Association for Computer Studies Educators)
- Pascal Chéron (L’Association des enseignantes et enseignants franco-ontariens)
- Rosemary Judd-Archer (Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation)

- Diana Maliszewski (The Association for Media Literacy)
