What Are You Doing This Reading Week?
Your local wants you to know what the Collective Agreement says about what you are required to do during non-teaching periods which includes this upcoming Reading Week and the one in the Winter semester.
Article 11.08
In keeping with the professional responsibility of the teacher, non-teaching periods are used for activities initiated by the teacher and by the College as part of the parties’ mutual commitment to professionalism, the quality of education and professional development.
Such activities will be undertaken by mutual consent and agreement and will not be unreasonably withheld.
No SWF will be issued but such activities may be documented. Where mutually agreed activities can be appropriately performed outside the College, scheduling shall be at the discretion of the teacher, subject to the requirement to meet appropriate deadlines.
