 Equity Consideration Form

The Faculty of Education affirms its principle and policy of fairness and equity for individuals who are qualified for the teaching profession and who reflect the ethno‑cultural and social diversity of the population of students in Ontario’s schools.

In pursuit of this principle and policy, we seek to identify candidates representing different backgrounds whose perspectives will diversify and enrich the teaching and learning community. We encourage applications from groups that are traditionally under‑represented in the teaching profession.
