Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT) is the designation of professionals which is granted by the Council of the Ontario College of Teachers to qualified, registered members in good standing. OCT is the designation required of all teachers who teach in publicly funded schools in Ontario. There are over 200,000 OCTs in Ontario. ==Support for a Professional Designation for Ontario Teachers== In its 2007 annual survey of members,〔http://www.oct.ca/publications/PDF/survey07_e.pdf〕 the Ontario College of Teachers learned that teachers didn’t feel entirely appreciated as professionals. Respondents said that teaching as a profession stood behind doctors, accountants and lawyers in terms of public respect. Only 56 per cent thought licensed teachers received professional recognition in the community commensurate with their education and contributions. In July 2008, the College hosted focus groups with College members and the public and, in August, conducted an online survey of members. More than 5,000 College members responded, 4201 to the electronic survey. Most voiced strong support for professional designation. Eighty-seven per cent of those in focus groups supported the idea. Eighty per cent of those who answered the electronic survey endorsed the notion. Sixty-six per cent of those reached by telephone also approved. As well, the majority of responding stakeholder groups supported the idea and the rationale behind it. Only one expressed strong reservations against. National market research and public consultation firm Angus Reid Strategies was engaged to provide independent oversight to the focus groups and online survey of members. The College’s Council approved use of the designation in September 2008 by certified, qualified College members in good standing.〔http://www.oct.ca/media/news_releases/20090901background.aspx?lang=en-CA〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ontario Certified Teacher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
