Professional Responsibility
“On the two school days of your assigned teachers’ convention, you have a legal and professional responsibility to attend convention. If you are not able to make it safely to your assigned convention, however, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or inclement weather clauses that you can access. If your collective agreement does not include language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or report to your school or another work location in your district. Refer to your collective agreement for more information. Should you require any additional information or if you need assistance interpreting your collective agreement, please contact Teacher Employment Services at 1-800-232-7208 or 780-447-9400.”

Using the principles of NLA to support language learners in the classroom.
Thursday February 20, 2025 10:20 - 11:20 MST
Glen 205 - CTCC
The Neuro-linguistic approach is cool for several reasons.
First of all, it was researched and developed by Canadians.
Secondly, it is effective in quickly providing students with the skills to communicate in an L2+
But most importantly, you don't have to be trained in the whole approach to put its principles to use for you and helping your language learners improve their day-to-day communication.

This session has something to offer you if :
you work with ELL students
you teach French Immersion
you teach in the Francophone schools and want to support your anglo-dominant students
or
you work with language learners in any capacity.

This session aims to provide you with easy-to-implement strategies that will allow you to apply NLA research in your pedagogy right away.
