JOINT PD FUND
As per the Collective Agreement between ATA Local #23, Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools and the Alberta Teachers’ Association, this fund is available for the professional development of teachers or groups of teachers. The function of the fund is to assist individuals or groups of teachers in pursuing professional development activities focused on teaching quality and improvement of student outcomes. Funding may support costs related to courses, workshops or conferences, online courses, books, resource materials (related to the course, not a classroom resource), inter-school visitations, collaboration or practical research, related substitute teacher coverage or other professional development activities which the teacher believes meet a professional growth need. It is not intended that the Staff Development Fund be used for payment of fees for courses or activities whose primary focus is personal development, or for extra curricular activities. Items or activities are determined in consultation with Canada Revenue Agency guidelines. Items or activities that will incur a taxable benefit will not be covered by the fund. Expenses such as meals without receipts or kilometrage will be in alignment with District policies and procedures.
