Fostering Brilliance

Earlier this fall, UTS welcomed 22 master of teaching candidates from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) to observe the teaching that takes place in real-life classrooms, as part of their journey to becoming full-fledged teachers. In November, the first cohort of six returned for a five-week placement, partnered with a UTS teacher in their area of expertise, with whom they will share teaching responsibilities.
