Professional Development Opportunities
Substitute teachers are welcome to register for Local 38 opportunities sponsored by the Local 38 Professional Development Committee, DEHR Committee, and Women in Leadership Committee. Those who successfully register for programs that run during instructional time can request reimbursement for the time of the session. Email reception@ata38.ab.ca for information.
The Substitute Teachers Group Directorate also sponsors professional development sessions for substitutes only. These are held during some non-instructional days. There is no reimbursement for these sessions, however they are valuable for developing skills to help in the classroom.
