ETFO Workshops for New Members

Many locals plan special events for new members (e.g., dinners, workshops, socials). Locals often partner 
with the provincial ETFO to offer workshops especially for new teachers.

Check with your school steward or local president to see if your local is offering these provincial programs.

The Heart and Art of Teaching and Learning is a workshop full of practical ideas 
that can be used in every classroom. The topics include: themes of success, 
before school starts, building inclusion, classroom management, communicating 
with parents, meeting diverse learning needs, preparing for or being an occasional 
teacher, continuing your professional learning and growth, and personal wellness.

Surviving While Smiling is a four-part workshop series offered throughout the year 
focused on topics such as planning, classroom management, creating an effective 
learning environment, assessment and evaluation, and professional boundaries.
