Academic Plan & Reviews
Academic Planning Cycle (2024-2029)
In January 2024, OISE began the important work of academic planning, working in collaboration with students, faculty, and staff to craft a compelling vision for the future of the Institute. The new Academic Plan will build on our many conversations over the past year to help determine our academic goals and paths forward so that our mission, research, and practice across multiple fields and disciplines resonate in powerful and action-oriented ways for education.
The community is invited to contribute ideas and perspectives with the goal of developing a renewed purpose and vision for the Institute that will carry us enthusiastically into the future.
To stay up to date on the planning process and to learn more about engagement opportunities, we encourage you to check back on this site regularly.
