Alberta School Leaders PD

The Teacher Growth, Supervision and Evaluation, is a workshop for system and school administrators. The provincial Teacher Growth, Supervision and Evaluation Policy deals with accountability and continuous professional growth and ensures that a teacher’s professional practice is under ongoing supervision. When a teacher has a probationary contract or when informed by supervision data, the evaluation of a teacher will occur. The Teacher Growth, Supervision and Evaluation Policy defines the process and the Teaching Quality Standard defines the competencies for professional practice.

This two-day workshop is scheduled for August 15-16, 2024 at Sheraton Cavalier, Calgary.

The workshop will focus on the principal’s critical role and the duties they must perform as outlined in the Education Act, the provincial Teacher Growth, Supervision and Evaluation Policy and the Leadership Quality Standard.

Registration is free for active and associate ATA members and includes breakfast, lunch and resource materials.

Breakfast and registration for the workshop will be at 8:00 am, with the workshop beginning at 9:00 am. The expected end time for both days will be 4:00 pm.
