Professional Responsibility

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.”

Welcome to "Hot Mess Teaching: Embracing the Chaos with a Smile," a session designed for early childhood educators who want to navigate the challenges of teaching with humor and resilience. In this session, we'll explore three big ideas for early learners. Firstly, teachers will learn how to approach difficult subjects in a developmentally appropriate way, ensuring that young children can understand and engage with complex topics. Secondly, educators will explore the importance of validating children's emotions and teaching constructive coping skills, fostering resilience and emotional intelligence from an early age. Finally, teachers will learn strategies to help children understand and empathize with others who may be experiencing hardship or injustice, promoting empathy and compassion in the classroom. Join us as we embrace the chaos of early childhood education with enthusiasm and empower our youngest learners to thrive in an ever-changing world.
