Just a reminder that there is only one week left for Teachers/Occasional Teachers to pay their annual fee of $170 to OCT (Ontario College of Teachers).
Those in a LTO or permanent contract at the beginning of 2022 likely had this fee deducted by TVDSB as verified on your pay stub.
Daily OTs however, must pay the OCT fee themselves and the College must receive this payment no later than April 25, 2022. OTs who do not pay this fee are removed from the OT List and will lose their "Good standing" on the OCT website. For more information click on OCT Fees .

Mandatory On-line Training Modules
Mandatory On-line Training ModulesA reminder to all Occasional Teachers/LTOs that TVDSB will soon post the annual mandatory training modules which must be completed before June 30, 2022 in order to remain on the List.
Daily OTs will receive a half-day of pay from their paid PD allowance for completing these.
LTOs must also submit these though they will have completed many of the modules at staff meetings.
N.B. Retirees must reserve a half-day of their allotment for this purpose.
Once the modules are posted, members will be able to access them via the Employee Portal. Do not forget to click on "Submit" after each module. When you log back into the Portal, check to see that the checkmark is still there so that you are sure your completion has been received.
