SAFE TRAVEL TO CONVENTION ON WINTER ROADS

Please make plans to travel safely to teachers’ convention. If you are not able to make it to your assigned convention, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or inclement weather clauses that could be accessed. If your collective agreement does not include language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or report to your school or another work location in your district. Refer to your collective agreement for more information.

Should you require any additional information or if you need assistance interpreting your collective agreement, please contact the Association’s Teacher Employment Services Duty Officer at 1-800-232-7208 or 780-447-9400.

Understanding morphology, the study of the internal structure of words, is foundational to making sense of how the English writing system works. Studies have shown that teaching morphology can help improve reading, spelling, and vocabulary skills starting as early as grade one and that it is particularly beneficial for students who struggle in reading. The following presentation will review the key components of morphology instruction and provide teachers with instructional tools and resources for teaching morphology as part of their literacy program.
