Violence - Workplace Injury & Illness: 3rd video, Provincial ETFO 2018 All-Member Survey, New Elementary Itinerant LTO Pilot Project and Our Next PD Event



**************************************
Provincial ETFO 2018 All-Member Survey

 Beginning March 20, 2018, a link to the ETFO All-Member survey will be sent to the membership via the email address on record. It will be sent from the email address survey@etfo.org.

This is the survey that collects statistical information from the membership and is used by ETFO for planning and outreach purposes. The survey is online and requires about 3-5 minutes to complete. In the past some members have called their local office asking if they should complete the survey. If this does happen we would appreciate it if you could encourage completion.

New Elementary Itinerant LTO Pilot Project

Just to advise members, Elementary Occasional Teachers and Human Resources have collaborated and developed a pilot project.

An Itinerant Long Term Occasional Teacher pilot project has been developed to help support and respond to the daily unfilled vacancies that schools are experiencing. The majority of our unfilled vacancies are due to absences entered for same day.

The Board has identified regions within Thames Valley where unfilled vacancies have been high and we will deploy a total of 31 Itinerant LTOs to service regions of schools. The LTO postings were out yesterday and will be specific to our identified regions, the postings will include the listing of schools and will have a Designated Home School in the region identified. We will facilitate centralized placements into these LTO assignments. We anticipate having the Itinerant LTO in place for March 29.

Applicants must be flexible enough to teach every grade on short notice.

The successful Itinerant LTO candidates will be provided more detailed information on TVARRIS and expectations of the role upon completion of the centralized placement process.
