This publication describes the professional learning framework for teaching that was developed by the Ontario College of Teachers, a self-regulatory body for the teaching profession in Ontario. The Ontario College of Teachers has a mandate, in legislation, to identify and accredit professional learning programs that support standards of practice for the teaching profession. These programs, when considered together, constitute the core of the professional learning framework. The framework begins with the accredited professional learning offered through preservice teacher education programs in Ontario. Options for ongoing accredited professional learning continue throughout the careers of all members of the College. This report describes the framework, then presents a chart of the promotion of ongoing professional learning in the teaching profession. Next it looks at: the principles and purposes of the framework; learning priorities and choices; professional learning required in legislation; other opportunities for professional growth and development; and the impact of the framework on teacher and student learning. The report offers a reply sheet that focuses on responses to and suggestions for the framework and on professional learning in general. An appendix presents details on standards of practice for the teaching profession. (SM)
