Education: K-12 Teaching Resources

This guide provides recommended K-12 teaching resources for students enrolled in the Master of Teaching and Master of Arts in Child Study and Education programs at OISE.

ON-Core

ON-Core is an easy-to-use collection of online streaming videos that are correlated with Ontario’s K-12 curricula. Teachers and students can quickly find relevant, current Canadian content by searching by subject, grade, course and/or strand. Educational titles are tailored to support teaching in the Ontarian classroom.

Education in Video

An online collection of streaming video developed specifically for training and developing teachers, Education in Video includes over 1200 hours of teaching demonstrations, lectures, documentaries, and primary-source footage of students and teachers in actual classrooms.  Please note that most of the content is U.S.

TVO Learn

TVO Learn is a collection of resources that cover a wide range of topics from K-12. There is also a section for teachers. This will be especially helpful for OISE pre-service teachers in the MT and MA Child Studies and Education programs. It is freely available to everyone in the province.

Many NFB films are available to the general public through NFB.ca.

Webcasts for Educators
