Mandatory Training Modules are up and running!

Many members have enquired as to when the Board's Mandatory On-Line Training Modules will be available- they are now AVAILABLE!  Access is via the Employee Portal under the Staff Development and Training header.  Click on Mandatory Training and you will find 12 modules plus "Children's Aid Services Reporting" and "Sabrina's Law".  Please note that no new modules will be added after April 30th. So, if you have taken the initiative to complete these 14 modules before the end of April, go back to verify that no new modules have been added in the interim.  Remember you have until June 30th to complete these modules and that is the day you will be paid for doing so.  Retirees must reserve a teaching day in June since this Teachers' Pension will consider the mandatory training as a day of work in June.
Members have the month of April to submit the annual on-line Statement of Intent to Remain on the List. This must be submitted by April 30th.
On another note, there are now two and a half weeks to go before our April 8th Designated Paid Professional Development Event at Althouse College.  Almost 700 members have registered for this exciting PD.  Registration for select sessions remains open until March 30.  Come out and meet fellow members and participate in relevant sessions lead by well-respected experts- you'll be glad you did!

Other upcoming events:
The Spring General Membership Meeting is May 26, 2011 at the Best Western Lamplighter Inn.  There is no charge to members.  Please register on-line to tvotpd@gmail.com.
