Easier to find information
“Members of the public and the profession use Find a Teacher more than any other feature on our site. Now we’ve made it even easier to find,” says Registrar Michael Salvatori, OCT. “The site is organized to make it easy for members of the public, Ontario Certified Teachers and applicants to find the information they want and access the services they need.”
The website relaunch marks a massive change from when the College was established 15 years ago as a paper-based regulatory body. “Now our interactions with applicants, members and the public are almost entirely electronic,” says Director of Corporate and Council Services Richard Lewko. “Our new website recognizes this changed reality and makes it easier and more economical to find ways to make interacting with the College more convenient.”
