Personal Development Fund
The Personal Development Fund is intended to provide our teachers with access to support that can be used in a multitude of ways to enhance their interests, hobbies, or recreational activities. The main objective is to have a positive impact on our members' mental health by supporting non-work activities, thus improving members' work/life balance.
Several expense categories are available for members to submit claims for under the new fund:
- activities,
- courses,
- tickets,
- workshops,
- passes,
- licenses,
- subscriptions, or
- other similar expenses that have a demonstrable connection to the teacher's personal wellness, personal development, hobbies, or recreational activities.
Activities related to professional development should still be assessed through the Local's Staff Development Fund, as the Personal Development Fund is intended for claims that support the teacher's personal life rather than their professional life.
