About AQs

ETFO AQ courses are unique from those offered by the other providers because of the ETFO edge.

AQs are offered by a variety of different providers: faculties of education, district school boards, and teacher affiliates. As one of the largest AQ providers in the province, ETFO makes its AQ offerings a superior learning experience by:

  • having courses developed by educators who understand the realities of today’s classrooms;
  • developing course content that is practical, well-grounded in effective practice, and has an appropriate balance between theory and practice;
  • recognizing the delicate work/life balance of educators; and
  • reviewing courses regularly and updating them to make certain that the key learning, course activities, and resources remain current.

ETFO AQ courses provide for a superior learning experience, they are also less expensive than those offered by other providers. We are committed to making professional learning affordable for all educators in Ontario.
