More than five hundred members have registered for the Designated paid day of PD at Althouse College on April 8, 2011, however we're still receiving some enquiries as to how to go about the registration process, so here it is in a nutshell:
1. Once in the Employee Portal, click on the "Registration Access" icon. This is on the right side of the page in an oval.
2. Scroll way down the page to the item that reads: "Option B of Day 1 Elementary OT PD 2010-11- April 8, 2011". Click on the box that says: "Register".
3. Select the session (s) - 1 full-day or 2 half-day, you would like to register for. To register, click in the circle to the left of the titled session. For more information on each session, just click on the session you're interested in.
4. Submit your selection(s) by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking on "Submit".
This is a wonderful opportunity for you to gain invaluable information, explore teaching strategies, gain insight into current topics facing classrooms today and meet many other elementary OTs. Your Union along with the Thames Valley District School Board have worked very hard to line up some of the most well-respected experts in their fields. It is in your best interest to attend this grand PD Event.
Another question often raised is: When will the mandatory online Training Modules be available?
answer: The Board's mandatory training modules are not yet available online, however they do not have to be completed until June 30th. NB: the completion of the online modules counts as if you taught on June 30th, so retirees must reserve one day.
Likewise, your Intent to Remain on the List must be done by April 30th.
Other upcoming events:
