OTs from the Roster in LTO Assignments, October 27th Board Paid PD Opportunity and ETFO-TVOT PD OPPORTUNITY on October 24th

By this time of year, many of those on the LTO List are busy in assignments.  Under the terms of Regulation 274, if a job is not filled from the LTO List, then it is to be filled from properly subject qualified applicants from the OT Roster who apply.  For that reason, we encourage all members to apply for positions for which you are qualified. Be sure to ask the school for a LTO form because if it is a posted position, you can be set up on the first day. Remember that the onus is on you to ensure you have a current QECO rating on file with the Board. Once your paperwork has been processed, your pay will be readjusted to reflect your qualifications and recognized previous teaching experience per the Collective Agreement. Please do not hesitate to contact the Local OT Office for further clarification.
If you accept less than a .5 FTE Long-Term Assignment, you may still be able to fit in Daily OT assignments and are still eligible for three 1/2 days of Paid Professional Development - reserving one 1/2 day for mandatory on-line training in the Spring.
________________________________________________

There are still several spots available for daily OTs and those in LTOs of less than .5, to register for either Brian Aspinall's 21st Century Learning or Marian Small's Math Instruction in Ontario.  Both workshops fit in with TVDSB initiatives and both count as a day of work for all purposes so we encourage members to "Earn while you Learn". Go to:  TVDSB Employee Portal> Conference Registrations and click on Elementary Occasional Teacher PD 2017-2018 for details.
