��ݮ����Ƶ����

��ݮ����Ƶ����’s proud history dates back to 1906, when the Faculty of Education at the ��ݮ����Ƶ���� was founded following a Royal Commission report arguing that the "Teaching of education is best performed where the theory and practice can be made to supplement each other." The Faculty established the ��ݮ����Ƶ���� Schools (UTS) in 1910, to serve as a laboratory to improve the practical and experimental aspects of its program.

In 1926, the St. George's School of Child Study became the first university laboratory preschool in Canada. In 1939, it became the Institute of Child Study (ICS), the first of the ��ݮ����Ƶ����'s multidisciplinary research centres.

In 1920, the Faculty of Education became the Ontario College of Education (OCE), ��ݮ����Ƶ����. During a period of forty-five years, directly funded and controlled by the Ministry of Education, "OCE" was the sole institution in the province preparing secondary school teachers.

In 1965, a special act of the Ontario legislature established the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (��ݮ����Ƶ����) to offer graduate programs, conduct research and disseminate its findings, and to engage in field development activities in education. In 1966, the departments of Graduate Studies and Research were transferred from OCE to ��ݮ����Ƶ����, while teacher education remained at the ��ݮ����Ƶ����. Effective July 1, 1972, the College was formally designated the Faculty of Education, ��ݮ����Ƶ���� (FEUT).

In 1994, the Minister of Education and Training invited the University and ��ݮ����Ƶ���� to explore the possibility of full integration. On December 16, 1994, the Ministry of Education and Training, the Governing Council of the ��ݮ����Ƶ���� and ��ݮ����Ƶ���� signed an agreement outlining the broad terms for the integration of ��ݮ����Ƶ���� and FEUT, including UTS and ICS with its Laboratory School, into a new professional faculty of education under the Governing Council of the ��ݮ����Ƶ����.

The new faculty, named the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the university of Toronto, began operations on July 1, 1996.

In 2004, UTS became an independent ancillary corporation within the ��ݮ����Ƶ����, with its own Board of Directors. In 2010, in recognition of the Dr. Eric Jackman's gift to the Institute of Child Study (ICS) to support early childhood development and education, the ��ݮ����Ƶ���� renamed ICS as Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study.

In 2012, ��ݮ����Ƶ���� restructured its academic departments from five to four with programs grouped under four distinct yet interrelated areas of scholarship within the broader field of educational studies. ��ݮ����Ƶ����'s academic departments are:

• Applied Psychology and Human Development (APHD)
• Curriculum, Teaching and Learning (CTL)
• Leadership, Higher and Adult Education (LHAE)
• Social Justice Education (SJE)

In 2014, in response to the Government's decision to substantially reduce the enrolment of students in teacher education programs, decrease perstudent funding, and shift towards a new four-term degree framework, ��ݮ����Ƶ���� repositioned itself as an all-graduate faculty of education in line with the ��ݮ����Ƶ����'s differentiated role as Ontario's leading research-intensive university.
