Dean's Welcome

Welcome to Ontario Tech University’s Frazer Faculty of Education—a vibrant community of educators, researchers, professionals and students with its compass set firmly toward a future where thoughtful, socially responsible educational leaders harness the power of digital technologies to create learning environments that inspire, engage, and empower our campus community. 

Our legacy, spanning over two decades, is built on a relentless pursuit of excellence. We boldly explore emerging technologies, being mindful of their positive and negative impacts. We believe new ideas and technologies are only significant when grounded in social responsibility and ethical practice. 

Yet, technology alone does not define us. We take a holistic approach to education - one that embraces mental health, accessibility, inclusivity, and social responsibility. Through our research, partnerships and innovative initiatives, we break barriers, foster creativity and champion diversity in all its forms. 

As we reflect on our journey thus far, the Frazer Faculty of Education takes pride in our achievements. From leading online learning methods to advancing research on transformative teaching methods, we have been at the forefront of educational progress long before the challenges of COVID-19 underscored the importance of our work. 

Through Tech with a Conscience, we are embarking on the next chapter of our journey. One that promises to redefine the very fabric of education. Join us as we continue to push the boundaries of how we educate ourselves and the next generation of teachers.
