$ Earn while you Learn
Your Thames Valley Occasional Teachers' Local/TVOT is hosting paid professional learning workshops for daily Occasional Teachers and Long-Term Occasional Teachers in assignments less than .5 .
These half-day sessions count towards your 2 days of paid professional development so take this opportunity to "Earn while you learn" on a day you could not normally work.
Registration is via the Board's Employee Portal (see Conference/Session Registrations).
The same workshops will be offered in the morning as in the afternoon so you may participate in two different workshops for a full day of professional learning and a full day's pay.
TVOT hosted workshops:
1) Classroom Management for Daily Occasional Teachers
2) Making a Difference - Supporting Positive Behaviours
3) Supporting English Language Learners
Date: November 15, 2019 (Board PA day)
Where: BMO Centre, 295 Rectory St,. London (free parking on site)
When: Morning sessions are 9 am to 11:30 am; afternoon sessions are 1 pm to 3:30 pm.
Please arrive on time as one would on a regular workday.
Note: Lunch is not provided.

ETFO Files a No Board Report for Central Negotiations -

Do your part to make TVARRIS efficient -
In order for the TVDSB replacement system to reach TVOT members who are waiting for calls, the system needs those who are unavailable for even a day or two, to make themselves unavailable on TVARRIS. Occasional Teachers are allowed to take off as much time as they wish so long as they teach the required 10 days as an elementary Teacher, however, the Board may contact you if your profile states you are available, yet you continue to decline TVARRIS jobs.
Updating your availability takes just a moment. Your peers are counting on you so that assignments do not go unfilled when they are willing to teach!
