Survey of teachers and education workers by OTF: Implications of online teaching and learning in Ontario

The Ontario Teachers’ Federation (OTF/FEO) is conducting an evaluation to explore the current and future implications of online/virtual teaching and learning in the K-12 educational context in Ontario. The OTF/FEO commissioned this evaluation externally.

As part of this evaluation, OTF/FEO is inviting all teachers and education workers who are represented by the four affiliates (AEFO, ETFO, OSSTF/FEESO, OECTA) to share their lived experiences, perspectives and insights by participating in an online survey. Your responses to the survey as an educator will help OTF/FEO gather further meaningful data about the implications of online/virtual teaching and learning.

The survey takes approximately 45 minutes to complete, depending on the length of your open-ended responses.

Please note that the deadline for completion of the survey is November 8, 2021.

Please also note the following:

• Your participation is completely voluntary.
• You may elect to end your participation at any time.
• You may elect to skip ANY question that you prefer not to answer.
• One or more questions may trigger an emotional response or resurface a difficult experience. If you require counselling or support, connect with a medical professional or your union or with the Employee Assistance Program should an EAP be available to you.
• All of your responses will remain anonymous.
• Any identifying information will be removed from the completed surveys.
• The data will only be accessible to the research team.
