Course Spotlight: Special Education

ETFO AQ courses are unique from those offered by other providers as our courses are created by teachers for teachers. Candidates are provided with a superior and unique learning experience.

Our Special Education AQs are a testament to the current and practical framework our courses are built upon.

“Taking the revised ETFO Special Education courses, both Part 2 and Specialist, has been transformative for my teaching at the intermediate level. These courses have expanded my toolkit with targeted strategies to engage and support diverse learners more effectively, especially in fostering an inclusive classroom environment. I now feel more confident in differentiating instruction, understanding, and responding to individual needs, and implementing supports that empower all students to succeed. This deeper knowledge has strengthened my ability to create a learning space that’s both equitable and responsive to the unique strengths and challenges of each student. ETFO’s approach is tailored specifically to the Ontario curriculum and current classroom realities, focusing on practical strategies and real-life applications directly from educators in the field. The course facilitators bring invaluable hands-on experience, making the learning highly applicable and directly linked to our daily work. The collaborative, educator-focused environment fosters immediate connections with colleagues who understand the nuances of teaching in Ontario, creating a supportive network that enhances my learning.“
