Teachers Teaching on Call (TTOC)
Welcome T.T.O.C.s of the Elk Valley! I am Mike Kelly your local representative.
Please feel free to contact me at repttoc@yahoo.ca for any questions, concerns or comments.
Best wishes for the 2009/2010 school year!
Relevant information for TTOC from the
South East Kootenay School Board
The stated intention of
the employer is that all teachers will use the call-out service to request a
TTOC.
It is the expectation that AO’s/secretaries will follow the same process.
Teachers are to refrain
from contacting TTOC’s directly and offering them work.
TTOC’s, please refrain
from accepting offers of work directly from your colleagues. Teachers do not
hire and we do not fire TTOC’s. I advise all TTOC’s to direct teachers
who are offering them work face-to-face to contact the call out service as per
the employer’s directive.
It is the long standing
policy of the FDTA that teachers do not provide the name(s) of ‘preferred
TTOC’s’ to the Call out service. The Call out of TTOC’s in the Elk Valley/South
Country should be on a fair and equitable rotational basis.
Sooner rather than
later, TTOC’s record of work (for pay and seniority purposes) will be based on
the records of the ‘call out service’. TTOC’s who accept work outside of
the call out service will risk NOT BEING PAID FOR THE WORK THEY DO.
TTOC call out should be
on a rotational basis, except for those who choose to not accept work in
every school. There is a real possibility that those TTOC’s who create a
narrow group of schools/grades/days etc that they are available for work may not
have the same number of call out opportunities as those who offer to work in
every school.
Tips
For TTOC And Classroom Teachers
Working as a TTOC differs from “regular” teaching, but TTOCs will use all their training and then some. A TTOC handbook has been put together for the FDTA and is available at the FDTA office. This guidebook includes general information for the TTOC plus some specific information for TTOCs in the Elk Valley. What follows has been taken from the TTOC Handbook and relates to expectations and professionalism of both the TTOC and the classroom teacher.
