Fingers crossed! -- We'll be accepted!
vvl Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Praying that March 1st is when we get our confirmation!! The suspense is killing me, I'm sure you're all feeling the exact same way!

In past years, they apparently got an email on march 1st for the meet and greet, which is basically a confirmation. Fingers crossed!!

icecream151 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 From also looking at last year's post people with invited and enrolled seemed to get in but it looks like some got letters and some got emails at different times. I don't think we should stress if we don't hear right on March 1st ❤. Stay strong and de-stress! ? future teachers ! pbear5 1
Toronto2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 From my understanding, OISE's Master of Teaching program puts you at the A3 category on QECO's pay grid. Does anyone have any information about where the Master of Arts in Child Study and Education program puts you? Thanks in advance !

icecream151 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I have not received any yet! I know they are going to start mailing out stuff today though
Amfed Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 the suspense is killing me....I'm in the same boat as everyone else....rosi says enrolled but 'financially cancelled' while acorn lists it as enrolled...it lists both i/j and i/s streams I applied for in MT program....does this mean I was accepted to both and now have to decide??

Expand Mine's the exact same! I don't think you have to decide now, because I know in the physical package that gets sent in the mail, there's a letter you send back confirming the program you wish to accept. I think it's an indication of unofficial acceptance, but not 100% sure!
ahfa225 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I applied to OISE for the I/S division with teachables in biology and general science as well as my second program choice for the P/J divison. After checking ROSI and Acorn...it looks like I may have gotten an offer for primary/junior but not for the I/S...is that the case for anyone else? I really wanted to teach at the I/S division but applied to the P/J division as a backup.. I've also been accepted to York, UOIT and Western for their B.Ed (I/S divison) so I'm in quite a dilemma. Not sure if I should go to OISE (my first choice) for the P/J division or go somewhere else and get the I/S teachables...any insight would be great

With OISE, you still come out at the A3 pay scale, so it really isn't all that different from any other teacher's college, it just has a better rep. I would go for whatever age group you're more passionate about teaching!

Perhaps contact OISE to see if this is indeed an option. I am thinking it is a possibility they didn't offer admission for I/S because the biology teachable automatically leads to the ability to teach general science, rendering those two teachables as 1 teachable. Also, once you graduate and gain OCT you can always go back and take an additional qualification (AQ) course to add the intermediate/senior division. Edited March 1, 2017 by ALk94

You can also take AQ courses online, too, and teach different divisions with that!!

Expand OISE has been a goal for basically my entire university and high school career .. but so has teaching science been. I'm just worried that doing AQ courses would leave me less competitive with someone who did the I/S division during teachers college since I didn't get the in class practicum experiences. Do you guys think that this is a valid point? I'm already thinking of ways to hopefully gain experience working the grade 7-12 during teachers college, perhaps more volunteering? My mind is going wild now but I'm so appreciative of everyone's comments and advice!

Expand In my opinion, don't pick an age group that you aren't passionate in, you aren't going to have a good experience at OISE. At the end of the day, if you are a effective educator you will get a job regardless of what school you went to. York and Western have a great name for teachers college.

Expand I was told by my old high school teacher that doing AQ does in fact put you a little lower than those who went to teacher's college for that specific age group, and that's because you don't get the actual hands on experience, which is very valuable. I wouldn't sweat it yet though! Official offers were mailed today, so wait and see what your official offer consists of, who knows, maybe you did get into I/S!

ALk94 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I am so eager to check my mailbox tomorrow! When I ordered my transcript from UofT it came the next day. I am hoping they truly did mail out offers today. I should receive a letter tomorrow or Friday in that case. pbear5 1
