to the OATG web site

OATG serves to bring all teachers of German in Ontario together to discuss current and planned initiatives, to share resources and ideas and to promote the learning and teaching of German in Ontario.

OATG is the provincial member association of CATG (Canadian Association of Teachers of German) and is also affiliated with CAUTG (Canadian association of University Teachers of German). Our main event is our annual "Fortbildungswochenende" or German teachers' PD day, hosted for the past two years at Appleby College in Oakville.

We produce and distribute the Rundbrief, which keeps all members of the OATG informed about what is going on with the German programs at schools in Ontario and what is happening in the OATG in terms of conferences, workshops, language programs, German contests, project work on teaching materials etc.

Mandate
Revised Constitution, 1981

Purpose
"The Association shall exist to maintain communication among, and speak for, all concerned with the teaching of German, as well as to further their professional interests."
