    How do you view e-learning and it's role in education going forward?
    I believe e-learning is the way of the future, it is what is best for student learning, we need to embrace it.
    A blended approach between classroom instruction and e-learning serves the students the best.
    I'm really not sure about e-learning and the effects it will have on student learning and my job security.
    I believe e-learning does not serve students well, nothing can replace a qualified teacher.

Welcome to the District 4 OSSTF Website

The Near North is a geographically large area encompassing schools and work sites from Parry Sound to Mattawa and stretching North to Sturgeon Falls and Britt. Despite the size of our Board, we remain an active Bargaining Unit built on the strength of our members involvement on a District, Bargaining Unit and local level. We offer a wide range of opportunities for participation in our Federation and have boasted tremendous OSSTF leadership through the years. District 4 members have and continue to make significant contributions through membership on Provincial Committees, strong contract negotiations and unified Political Action.

We invite you to browse our web site and contact one of us if you have any questions or comments.

Last month, during the week of Nov. 20th to 25th, Jared Hunt attended the Ontario Federation of Labour’s (OFL) bi-annual convention, as a District 4 delegate.   He was fortunate enough to get video footage of an organized march to Toronto’s financial intersections. With police escorts, 1000 plus people, carrying signs and flags, marched from City Hall to Bay and King, stopping for 15 minutes to rally in front of TSX and BMO.
