Women’s Symposium
Stay tuned – Registration opening soon!
The CTF/FCE Women’s Symposium gathers women teacher leaders from across the country to explore a particular theme or issue aimed at strengthening the status of women and improving the situation for women within the teaching profession and the broader societal context.
Co-hosted by our Ontario Member Organizations (AEFO, ETFO, OECTA, and OSSTF/FEESO), the 2021 Symposium will be held virtually May 3 and 4. The theme “100+ From Struggle to Strength: Toujours plus fortes ensemble!” will honour the past contributions of women, while focusing on the future and inspiring the next 100 years of women in education.
Symposium topics include:
- Women in the workplace
- Women in leadership
- Practical skills for women leaders
- Equity and the politics of gender
Join us virtually for a two-day event featuring engaging speakers, interactive sessions and much more!
Important: The Symposium is open to all members who identify as women.
