“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.”

Join us to look into how the Foothills School Division approached the literacy and numeracy grade 1-3 grant dollars from Alberta Education. Using a robust, comprehensive approach to both reading and mathematics, the students in our system made significant progress. We will share how we approached the grant opportunity, and how we built our team. We will also share and make available all of our intervention frameworks, resources and materials, and the amazing results we saw. Leave with tools and documents to start using in your classroom to support your grade 1-3 striving readers and mathematicians.
