Leave a Note
It is important for the absent Teacher to know what was accomplished and where to pick up, on their return. Article L18.01(c) of our Collective Agreement states: 
The Occasional Teacher shall endeavour to provide written feedback to the Teacher being replaced at the conclusion of the occasional assignment. Such feedback will generally include comments on the progress of lessons taught, problems encountered and where appropriate, successes achieved and marks for work completed by students within the occasional assignment.
(Pick up your OT Post-it Notepad at the Spring Annual Meeting)
