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.”

If you’ve been wanting to use some catchy popular songs in your classes, but don’t have the time to arrange all the songs yourself, then this is the workshop for you! All the hard work has been done for you. Simply show up, learn, and then teach the songs right away. During this fun and interactive session, participants will be introduced to some easy ‘ukulele arrangements for well known popular songs that your students already know and love to sing.

You will walk away with the skills to teach these songs on your own, no videos or YouTube required! Join "Ukulele for Children" author Christina O'Brien as she walks you through some classroom tested pop arrangements that can be taught as young as second grade but enjoyed by your middle school students too!
