Preface

The Alberta Teachers’ Association appreciates the important contribution made to education and to the teaching profession by our members who serve as substitute teachers. The Association is also cognizant of the unique nature of the service provided by these colleagues and the concomitant difficulties of serving as professional replacements for teachers who are absent from their regular duties. In recognition of this, the Association has, as one of its standing committees, the Substitute Teachers Committee. The mandate of the committee is to study the unique problems, concerns and needs of substitute teachers and provide advice to Provincial Executive Council on these matters.

This monograph is intended to assist in this very necessary program of ongoing education and awareness. I commend it to you.

 

Dennis E Theobald
Executive Secretary
