- A new self-directed half-day module called "Assessment and Evaluation" has been added to the June 28th sessions within the Elementary Occasional Teacher PD 23-24. Participation counts as a half-day of teaching for all purposes and all June 28th options can be completed at your convenience.
- Occasional Teachers/LTOs are reminded to keep a record of the dates and number of minutes lost of any scheduled prep periods that they are denied. This violates our Collective Agreement and the Local will again be seeking compensation for such lost time.
TVOT members hired after 2019 are invited to attend a free meeting and dinner on February 13th at the Lamplighter Inn in London from 4:30pm - 7pm.
Meet your peers over a lovely dinner, then have your questions answered as we highlight the nuances of elementary occasional teaching, your Collective Agreement and belonging to a Union. Guest presenter will be TVDSB Occasional Teacher Staffing Specialist, Jessica Grison-Roeder.
To register call us at the TVOT Office: 519-641-3936 or email us: mail@etfotvot.com
