A Collection of Covid-19 Resources
for English Language Educators
TESL Ontario is continuously compiling resources to assist teachers with online teaching in an effort to help our members who may be transitioning to online teaching or who may want to improve their online teaching skills. We hope you find some of these resources useful.

If you have resources to share with the TESL community, please email us at membership@teslontario.org. We will continue to send regular updates, as resources become available.

Stay safe, stay healthy.
Contacting Staff
TESL Ontario staff continue to work remotely until further notice. Please use email communication during this period. Our staff members can be reached by email through the Contact Us page.

Our aim is to respond to members as promptly as possible. If you need a staff member to call you, please indicate that in your email.

Please use our online services whenever possible. Mail, courier and in-person deliveries cannot be received during this time.
Online Resources
Resources are being designed to help teachers navigate the ever-changing landscape brought about by COVID-19. TESL Ontario will share these resources with its members through email, social media, and our website.
TESL Ontario Webinars
The TESL Ontario webinar team is continuing to produce webinars throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and adding additional webinars.

The team is working to find presenters to help you navigate online teaching strategies and tools. If you have relevant skills, please step up and contact our webinar team (webinar@teslontario.org), to support your peers.
