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.”

In this session we will explore discussion around creating and sharing boundaries and how this can improve our confidence, relationships, mental health and quality of life. We share common misconceptions around boundaries and share kind, clear strategies for both setting boundaries and receiving boundaries from others. We share the neuroscience behind Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to facilitate psychological flexibility, discuss the mind/body connection and then discuss how to communicate with the people in our lives both professionally and personally to bring back joy in our lives.
