Daily Occasional Teachers with TVDSB are entitled to 4 half-days of paid PD which for all purposes, count as days worked. (LTOs in .5 FTE or less are entitled to 2 half-days.)
The 9 mandatory training modules required to remain employed, count as 1 half day.
In addition, there are plenty of online options (including OCT's Sexual Awareness programme), that can be completed on your own time so long as the reflection forms are submitted by the end of school day on June 30th.
We encourage TVOT members to "Earn while you Learn", and not leave almost $500 on the table at the end of this school year.
