Teachers Have Questions Arising from Latest Update on the Tripartite Discussions

Calgary Public Teachers ATA Local 38 representatives joined their counterparts from across the province in Edmonton January 15 to discuss updates from the Alberta Teachers' Association regarding the ongoing tripartite discussions.

Representatives had many questions about some of the proposals. In particular, how assignable time and instructional time limits would be enforced and given the possible reduction in time spent teaching how would the curriculum be adjusted in response. They were assured by ATA staff that these concerns were noted and being explored further in the process.

Stay tuned...
