We encourage you to submit a proposal to the TESL Ontario webinar team on a topic of your choosing. Our team will guide you through the process: providing you with training, support, equipment, and guided practice runs until you are fully prepared and feel confident.

How does the program work?

• Webinar proposals go through a review process by team members, with a response from the team within 7 days.
• Proposals that focus on product promotion are not permitted.
• If your proposal is accepted, you will be contacted by a team member to schedule a date for your webinar.
• The team will be there to help you every step of the way, from drafting your description, sharing feedback on your slides, to pacing your presentation, and so much more.
• You’ll be paired with a moderator.

What’s the moderator’s role?

The moderator will:

• work with you through the whole process, including monitoring timelines,
• provide detailed presenter training, including practice runs on the webinar platform,
• be your resource person to assure that you are comfortable and well prepared,
• be your dedicated support person during your live webinar: handling any technical issues, managing attendee questions, and offering any other necessary assistance.

What are the benefits for me?

You will:

• receive a certificate for 5 hours of professional development,
• receive training and experience in presenting a webinar,
• be able to share your knowledge and expertise with the language training community,
• receive survey feedback to help you reflect on and learn from the experience,
• grow your personal learning network, and
• add skills to your resumé and social media.

Before submitting a proposal, please review the Info sheet on drafting a webinar description and biography.
