The ProD Committee has made the decision to postpone the Professional Development Draw that would normally occur at the STA AGM in May. We know this is a highly anticipated draw that allows for a very unique professional development opportunity and so we will hold the draw at a later date, next school year, when some certainty around travel returns.

Teachers are often the first to wipe away the tears and give emotional support to their students. From collecting funds and organizing countless assignments, to dealing with new technologies and coaching teams after school, teaching is not what it used to be. Classrooms today are complex places.

Grievance: Failures-to-Fill

The STA has ﬁled a grievance regarding the District’s practice to direct non-enrolling teachers to cover failure to ﬁll for classroom teachers. The STA is therefore collecting data to support this grievance by requesting that staff reps regularly report failures to ﬁll. In an effort to make this task as quick and efﬁcient as possible, we have created a new format for reporting failures to ﬁll.
