Teachers understand accountability. The members of our profession are accountable in so many ways – to colleagues, to administrators, to boards, to parents, to the public. And above all, our members told us in a recent survey of Ontario teachers, we are accountable to our students.

We have report cards, parent interviews, school councils, EQAO results. Accountability and transparency are nothing new to our profession.

The College has always placed a priority on fulfilling its ethical and legal responsibilities to be accountable to the public and to be transparent in how we regulate the teaching profession.

The College ensures that our members and the public continue to see self-regulation of the teaching profession as being very much in the public interest. For example:

Discipline Committee Decisions

The College provides public access to full Discipline Committee decisions – following public disciplinary hearings – as well as to summaries of those decisions, through a variety of avenues and in several formats:

For information on how the College ensures public access of discipline hearings, read Reporting Process Ensures Public Transparency (PDF).

Registration Practices

We believe our registration practices are fair and impartial. But we are determined that we take nothing for granted. Our review of registration practices initiated in 2007 ensures that our procedures, information and guidelines are clear and transparent.

To learn more on the College’s commitment to fair registration practices, see the full report (PDF).

Professions all across Canada are responding to growing expectations from the public and from governments about the level of transparency we provide in the decision-making of our self-governing bodies. The College is committed to identifying effective practices that are transparent, consistent and understood by our stakeholders and the public, and that will benefit our members and our profession.
