October is a month of change. Outside, the leaves become brilliant. Inside, we are getting to know our students - hopefully they are getting brilliant, too. It is also the month for municipal elections in Ontario. On that note, Rapport has a bit of an election theme for you this October.

November is conference month! Be sure to register for OHASSTA’s annual conference. This year it’s being held on Thursday Nov. 15 and Friday Nov. 16 in Toronto. Here’s the link to the registration page if you haven’t been there yet.

I urge you to attend. My own personal journey began at the OHASSTA conference. Before that, I was rather stuck in my own school and my own ways. I have met so many wonderful people through OHASSTA.

We all know that teaching is a very tough job – why not network and learn from others!

Welcome back. We here at Rapport hope you had a relaxing and refreshing summer. Perhaps your first few weeks of school have been like mine and you don’t even remember summer anymore! There’s always so much to do and learn.

OHASSTA had a very busy summer (see Rachel’s President’s message) and is preparing for a fabulous conference in November. The brochure of workshop titles will be out very soon – trust me, the offerings are incredible this year as we partner with the Association for Canadian Studies.

So, save the date and register soon: Thurs. Nov. 15 and Fri. Nov. 16 at the Four Points by Sheraton Toronto Airport: 6257 Airport Road, Mississauga. 

As always if you’d like to write for Rapport, please email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Meanwhile, enjoy this month's 10 blog posts.
