OTF Math Office Hours for beginning teachers facing the Math Proficiency Test (MPT)

Les ateliers en ligne suivants sont offerts en anglais seulement. Ne manquer pas les ateliers en français dans un avenir proche. 

To support beginning teachers and teacher candidates with the unneeded stress of completing the MPT by August 31, 2021, OTF is offering an online program, OTF Math Office Hours.

OTF Math Office Hours gives beginning teachers and teacher candidates the opportunity to ask questions about math concepts and procedures and to receive support from a teacher qualified in math. Our contacts at the Ontario Teacher Candidates’ Council (OTCC) have expressed support for this program.

When: OTF Math Office Hours will be available on Wednesday afternoons/evenings over the coming 12 weeks. The sessions will be run on the Zoom platform and last approximately 90 minutes. You can log in to the session at any point during the time slot. As well, you can attend as many sessions as you wish.

Sessions: The following sessions are now available. All run from 4:00-5:30 pm. We will let you know about further sessions in July and August as they become available.
