SPECIALIST COUNCIL OPPORTUNITIES
The ATA’s 21 specialist councils have begun planning collaboration opportunities for teachers across the province in the 2020–21 school year. While many in-person conferences are being postponed to alternate dates or future years, their work to provide meaningful, relevant, subject-specific professional development for Alberta teachers continues to be strong. Additionally, some councils have begun planning digital conferences and experiences for teachers.
Second Languages and Intercultural Council
The council is offering bursaries for members to attend the online conference of the Canadian Association of Second Language Teachers.
