“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.”

Reduce and rethink: Moving to a zero-waste school

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Feedback form is now closed.
How much waste does your school produce and what are you throwing away? To answer this question, we will take part in an example waste audit which can be repeated in your classroom or school. Once we have discovered the quantity and composition of the waste we produce, an action plan can be created to reduce waste and focus on particular problem items. We will move beyond recycling and composting and think about the importance of reducing and rethinking. This is a hands-on, practical session, and you will leave with lots of tips of how to reduce the waste in your school.
