Alternate Professional Development

The Alberta Teachers’ Association values teachers’ conventions and recognizes both the professional and legal obligations that teachers have regarding convention attendance.


All teachers should consider this as they approach and participate in the full two days of teachers’ conventions.  Convention boards such as the CCTCA develop an annual program to engage teachers at all levels.  CCTCA provides an array of speakers and workshops from a variety of curriculum areas; and seek to improve the pedagogical knowledge and skills of teachers.

Convention is only one of a number of interdependent professional development forums which assist teachers in realizing their individual plans for increased professional growth. The CCTCA understands that there are exceptional circumstances in which a teacher may seek to be absent from their annual convention, despite their professional and statutory requirement to be in attendance.

Teachers may request permission to attend alternate professional development activities. Requests must be submitted via the online Alternate PD form  HERE.  Such requests must be made a minimum of two weeks prior to the convention.
