Preparation Time

In  the Winter 2011 edition of Voice, you were introduced to  the approved bargaining goals that ETFO  will pursue in  the upcoming round of negotiations.

Educators across Ontario are swimming through an ever-growing alphabet soup of new initiatives introduced by the government, school boards, and principals.

Elementary teachers are professionals. They understand how  best  to  organize their  time and   commitments  to  meet  the  educational needs of their students.

The provincial agreement that ETFO agreed to on February 12 contains important provisions that enhance our members’ professionalism.

During the past four years there have been tremors and shockwaves across the education landscape, but for the most part educators, parents, administrators, and trustees have been lulled into passive acceptance. Most are oblivious to the devastation that is coming.
