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.”
This information is also found on the Frequently Asked Questions page on the www.ataconventions.ca website. If you have any further questions regarding this, please contact Daniel.Maas@ata.ab.ca.

Friday February 21, 2025 13:00 - 14:00 MST
Note: I can teach this session in French, English, or a mixture of both depending on your group's needs! I can also narrow the focus specifically to French based on what works best for the public.

The aims of this session are to favour an understanding of what gender-just language teaching is, and why this approach favours students' intrinsic motivation, their rigorous study of grammar, the development of empathetic practices, and an appreciation for cultural humility. Teachers will receive simple and practical strategies and permanent access to digital resources that will support their approaches to teaching and assessment.
