Education Minister Stephen Lecce says school boards will be required to publicly report their teacher professional development sessions.
It’s one of the first mandates handed down by the minister under legislation that gives him greater control over school boards.
Lecce says the first set of regulations under the recently passed Better Schools and Student Outcomes Act will help “refocus” boards on academic achievement, life and job skills.
Boards will be required to post details of all P-D days on their websites, including content, presenters and resources shared with educators.
The president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation says without program and financial support, the priorities are more like targets.
