In an effort to remain current in the field of education and technology, it is essential for teachers to pursue on-going professional development.

About Queen's University eTeacher Programs...
Unlike the majority of continuing teacher education courses offered by university faculties of education in Ontario, Queen’s University has a new vision for what professional development should look like. In addition to the Additional Qualification, created and governed by OCT, Queen’s is looking to create a series of micro-course certificates, based entirely on the needs present in domestic, international, and virtual classroom environments. Now, teacher’s will have the opportunity to take a 30-hr micro course to better understand a topic, theory, or technology that may be encouraged by their school or district, from a course provider who has subject matter experts working with professional instructional designers, editors, and web developers to design a top-quality course. Designers, developers, and instructors, who are part of a system that has been in place for over 15 years, maintain this course.
