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.”

Mercedes and Anastasia Korngut are two teen sisters who started their company, Small Bits of Happiness, two years ago. Their mission is to help individuals of all ages find more happiness in daily life. As two teens, they understand firsthand the difficulties of teenage-hood, including not only the hormonal changes that we undergo, but the added stressors of war, post-pandemic life, and beyond. The two have designed a series of teen-designed wellness products. In this session, the two will be discussing how teens can find happiness in the turmoil of teenage-hood, filled with war, post-pandemic life, and teenage struggles. Additionally, the sisters are discussing how teachers can help support their students in daily life, building these happy habits, and practicing wellness.
