About ETFO
Professional, credible, trusted. We know Ontario’s teachers!
The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) is the union representing 76,000 elementary teachers, occasional teachers, and educational and professional support personnel in elementary public schools in Ontario. The federation has 66 locals across the province. ETFO is known as one the the foremost providers of teacher professional learning within Canada and is gaining a reputation for its work internationally.
Our reputation is based upon providing professional learning that is relevant, grounded in social justice and equity, and teacher-friendly. Unlike other organizations we refuse to rest on our laurels; we constantly strive to improve our offerings based upon candidate and instructor feedback. ETFO firmly believes that you don’t get to be the best by being like the rest. Similarly, we also believe that once recognized as the best you should always work hard to be better – this is something we work at day in and day out. We will not stop working hard to ensure that teachers have access to the best professional learning in Ontario.
We encourage you to visit ETFO’s website for information about all our programs and services for educators in Ontario.
