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.”

Sharing abstract concepts like active citizenship and democracy in the classroom can pose some serious challenges. Join the Visitor Services Team from the Legislative Assembly Office of Alberta in a hands-on learning session about innovative ways to enliven programming based in inquiry, while encouraging active citizenship of all participants.
During this session, we will discuss different ways of using innovative, budget-friendly tools to enhance your own programming while highlighting resources offered by the Legislative Assembly Office. We will empower teachers to bring all levels of content to life in the classroom in ways that are dynamic and engaging.
The Legislative Assembly Office provides fun and unique learning experiences that emphasize active citizenship and the democratic process.
