Alberta Teachers’ Association president Jason Schilling urges teachers to use their collective voices to protect public education in his opening address to delegates attending the 71st annual ATA Summer Conference. More than 400 teachers from across the province gave up a week of summer break to attend the event, held at the Banff Centre for the Arts from Aug. 12 to 16.
The annual professional development event provides training to members who are actively involved, or interested in becoming involved, in the work of the Association. The training includes sessions for local presidents, local communications officers, teacher welfare committee members, professional development facilitators and specialist councils.
