2026 Registration and Access Information

How to Access the Educators’ Institute

Participation in the Educators’ Institute is available through two pathways.

Important Dates

  • Educators’ Institute: August 18 and 19, 2026
  • Expression of Interest (school board participation): May 4, 2026
  • General registration: Opening soon

Pathway 1: School Board Registration (Ministry-funded access)

If you are an educator working within an Ontario publicly funded school board, Provincial or Demonstration School, or eligible School Authority:

  • Do NOT register through the public registration link
  • Submit your name through the Expression of Interest, a short form used to indicate your interest in participating through your school board
  • Participation is coordinated by your school board, with participation decisions made at the board level
  • If you are not selected through your board’s allocation, additional participation opportunities may be communicated at a later stage

👉 Submit Your Expression of Interest

  • Interest list open until May 4, 2026
  • Submission does not guarantee participation, but it helps LDAO and school boards understand educator interest across regions and roles.
  • If additional spaces become available, LDAO may follow up with educators who have expressed interest.

Pathway 2: General Registration

If you are not participating through a school board:

  • You may register directly through the public registration link
  • General Registration confirms your participation in the Educators’ Institute

👉 Registration for the Educators’ Institute 2026 will open soon

  • Early registration pricing will be available at launch

Important

If you are an educator working within an Ontario publicly funded school board, DO NOT register through General Registration.

Participation for school board educators is coordinated through Ministry-funded access and school board processes.

LDAO will share expressions of interest with school boards, and participation will be determined through board-level processes.

Ministry-Funded Access (Ontario School Boards)

Participation for Ontario publicly funded educators is supported through Ministry-funded access allocated to school boards.

School boards receive a set number of access points, informed by board size. These may be used to support individual or team-based participation, depending on local professional learning structures.

Thanks to the financial support of the Ontario Ministry of Education, this access is provided at no cost to Ontario publicly funded educators.

Bilingual Professional Learning Offering

The Educators’ Institute is part of LDAO’s broader bilingual professional learning offering. French-language programming is provided through TA@l’école via the “Colloque des professionnels de l’enseignement” on August 11 and 12, 2026.
