By 2020, all teachers in the province will be held to the new Teaching Quality Standard and must be able to demonstrate that they meet the included competencies. This session will provide teachers with the opportunity to discuss the new standards with Association leaders who were involved in developing the new TQS and who directly involved with planning and implementing new professional development opportunities to assist members with meeting the new standards. The road ahead may seem daunting, but this session will help you map out the journey, identify resources that you can access, and connect with those who can provide guidance along the way.
