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.”

PLEASE BRING TECHNOLOGY TO THIS SESSION!! Join us for an enriching session designed to revolutionize your teaching approach with cutting-edge technology. Drawing from 14 years of experience since graduating from the University of Alberta, we have found and curated time-saving techniques and harnessed the power of various websites to manage the demands of our profession. Expect hands-on exploration of these websites and resource sharing in smaller groups to encourage collaboration. Throughout this session, you'll have dedicated time to explore and experiment with these websites and share valuable resources. Participants will leave with practical tools and ideas ready to implement in their classrooms immediately.
