Do you realize that your six half days of Paid PD (including the half-day reserved for mandatory online training in June) total $699.30 of salary?

Are you aware that you receive 3 days of seniority credit, pension credit, three days of the ten needed to remain on the elementary list and credit for purposes of Employment Insurance?

Do you know that your Thames Valley OT Local has negotiated the most paid PD of any Board in the province?

Registration is still open for workshops being held by the Board on April 27th via the TVDSB Employee Portal:

• Click on "Conference/Session Registrations"
• Scroll down to Elementary Occasional Teacher PD (2017-2018)
• Click on "Register"
• Review the session descriptions by clicking on the session title, and indicate which sessions you would like by clicking into the small circle to the left.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Submit/Continue"
• We recommend that you print your timetable for your records.

At the time a paid professional activity is offered, Occasional Teachers on an LTO or permanent contract with an FTE of 0.5 or higher are not eligible for paid PD. Members in assignments of less than .5 FTE are eligible for half of the paid PD opportunities.

Please remember to submit a Reflection Form at the end of each session in order to drive the payment process (forms will be available at each session).

One-half day of the designated PA Days must be set aside for completion of the mandatory training modules that will be posted in April. These modules, the Offence Declaration and your WHMIS review must be completed by June 29, 2018.
