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.

Career Advising 101 for Teachers (and Administrators)
Friday February 21, 2025 13:00 - 14:00 MST
Telus 104 - CTCC
Teachers are in a key position to assist students as they consider various career and academic pathways. Knowing some basics about various pathways and admission requirements can help prevent misinformation. Did you know someone earning a Red Seal trade credential also earns a post-secondary credential? Do you know the difference between "first qualified, first admitted" and "competitive" admission processes? Do you know which university gives offers based on predicted grades? Who gives the "Alberta bump" of 4%? More importantly, how can you help students reflect and plan strategically so their pathway confidence increases and their anxiety decreases? Bring your ideas and questions so we can all serve students more effectively.
