OCEA President’s Message 2014-2015
On behalf of the Ontario Cooperative Education Association’s (OCEA) Executive,
Directors and Provincial Representatives, I am honoured to welcome you to a new
academic year! As the 2014-2015 OCEA President, I am humbled to represent you in
Cooperative Education and other forms of Experiential Learning and look forward to
the year ahead with great excitement.
OCEA’s Fall Symposium is an exceptional event and 2014 will be no exception! The
symposium will be held on October 26th and 27th and this year’s theme “Together We
Stand 2” captures the spirit and builds on the energy, passion and networking generated at last year’s
symposium. The beautiful Blue Mountain Resort (Collingwood, Ontario) is our host once again,
however, with a slight twist: we will be enjoying the amenities of the new suite of conference rooms at
the Village Conference Centre II, located directly adjacent to last year’s venue.
In the spirit of our theme, “Together We Stand 2”, the symposium will focus on best practices as we
continue to celebrate exactly how we stand together as teachers, coordinators, administrators, and
guidance counsellors to make opportunities and connections in the world of work happen for our
students. This year’s program is richer than ever and offers engaging opportunities for those new to
Co-op, right up to those experienced in OYAP, SHSM, Dual Credit, Summer School, and Adult
Education. We look forward to seeing you at the symposium and engaging in the excellent
opportunities to learn and network together.
As Cooperative Education and other forms of Experiential Learning professionals united as one, our
voices will be stronger and clearer if represented by this provincial association. I therefore encourage
you to follow the link to our website www.ocea.on.ca and click on the Members’ Zone icon to renew
your 2014-2015 membership; or if you are joining our association for the first time, WELCOME! While
you are in the Members’ Zone don’t forget to register for the upcoming symposium.
We look forward to seeing you at the 2014 Symposium and engaging in the excellent opportunities to
learn and network together.
Please feel free to contact myself or any member of the OCEA Leadership Team with any comments or
input that will aid us in continuing to best serve our members.
Best wishes for an excellent 2014-2015 school year!
Sincerely,
Julia VanderWeerden
OCEA President 2014-2015

Co-op 21: Engaging Learners in the 21st Century
This presentation will focus on how our Cooperative Education program meets our board’s NN:21 Vision. In an increasingly
global and digital world, this initiative creates opportunities for students to develop skills and knowledge to learn more effectively,
enables teachers to create technology-enriched Co-Op learning environments, and engages parents to support student learning
outside the school setting. Specifically, we will discuss LMS support (for those teachers already currently familiar with using
LMS), Hour Republic, and the use of your ipad and the iDoceo app. (EXPERIENCED)
