Alberta’s substitute teachers get salute this week
March 8-12 is Substitute Teachers’ Appreciation Week across Alberta.
At Wolf Creek Public Schools (WCPS), subs are being saluted by the division and ATA Local #3.
“Substitute teachers are essential each and every year to our school division, and through the COVID-19 pandemic this is absolutely underscored,” said Corrine Thorsteinson, assistant superintendent. “The dedication of substitute teachers creates stability in a classroom that allows students to remain focused, feel supported and move forward. That is immeasurable for schools and for student success.”
Adds Rod Phillips, chair of the Professional Replacement Teachers’ Committee with the ATA Local #3, subs are dedicated professionals.
