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.”

Playful Learning: You, Your Students and the Curriculum
Thursday February 20, 2025 10:20 - 11:20 MST
Macleod Hall E4 - CTCC
Are you looking for ways to infuse playful learning in your classroom while meeting curricular outcomes and promoting student engagement, creativity, and critical thinking? Join us for an enriching learning experience for elementary teachers, showcasing how playful learning can be woven throughout the school day, both indoors and outdoors. Building on three years of lived experiences of play in a grade one classroom, this session shares examples from the early introduction of playful experiences right through to a fully play based learning environment. Realistic and light-hearted, this session will be a teacher-to-teacher discussion with a bit of research thrown in! We will include information on structures, routines and assessment possibilities. Bring your questions and wonders!
