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.

Learn how to maximize student understanding by applying evidence-based principles from the Science of Learning to your mathematics teaching. In this session we will investigate how to structure content during lessons and how to apply research-based principles of instruction. This includes:

- using a micro-scaffolding approach that builds upon student prior understanding and connects mathematics concepts;
- reducing cognitive load and creating a truly inclusive classroom;
- applying Rosenshine’s principles of instruction to ensure your teaching is impactful.

You will leave this session with a new understanding of evidence-based instruction and a variety of strategies to immediately apply in the classroom.
