The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½) is Canada’s only all-graduate institute of teaching, learning and research in the field of education. Standing on the shoulders of a great University, ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ is committed to collaborating and partnering with the communities it serves, and welcomes the participation of members both internal and external to ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ on advisory boards and committees. Advisory bodies create bridges of understanding and enhance our relations with public and the broader education community.
²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ has three advisory boards that provide advice to the Dean and the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ community, and present a forum for lively discussion on key directions and priorities for the Institute.

The Dean's Advisory Council on Indigenous Education (DACIE) was established in January 2017 following consultations with ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½'s Indigenous faculty. DACIE meets on a monthly basis to provide collective advice on Indigenous education initiatives.
