No French Required
Did you know that Occasional Teachers can take daily assignments in areas for which they hold no qualifications? This means any TVOT member can accept a daily FSL assignment, Music assignment or a TVARRIS call for an Intermediate grade even though they have P/J qualifications. Absent Teachers in these areas often leave lesson plans that any Teacher would be quite comfortable with so don't be afraid to accept these calls and help ensure that there is a Teacher working in each classroom in Thames Valley.

Two Days of Extra PayDon't forget that daily Occasional Teachers in TVDSB can earn an extra 2 days of pay. TVOT daily members receive a half-day of pay for completing the mandatory online training modules that will be posted in April. As well, by participating in paid Professional Development opportunities that are posted in the TVDSB Employee Portal > Staff Development and Training > Conference/Session Registration > Elementary Occasional Teacher PD 2020-2021, Occasional Teachers can earn the remaining 3 half-days which for all purposes (seniority, EI, Teachers' Pension, number of days to remain on the Roster etc.) count as time worked for the Board.
Many of the options posted there are online modules that can be completed on evenings and weekends. Teachers are life-long learners and these sessions will assist you as you hone your practice so don't leave this money on the table - earn while you learn!
