Instructors
York University's Faculty of Education AQ Instructional Leaders are at the heart of all our courses. Our OCT certified ILs hold qualifications in their disciplines and are practicing educators with at least 5 years of experience, insight, and proven expertise in their field. The thousands of teachers that take Additional Qualification courses at York U each year are inspired, motivated, and mentored by passionate leaders who foster collaborative, reflective learning environments, no matter the course format. Our ILs bring AQ course content to life by sharing their own lived experiences, strategies, and tips. Teachers not only earn an AQ but also come away with new inspiration.
