• Collaborate: Work with fellow educators to address key challenges and opportunities.
• Innovate: Help develop new policies and resources to better support teacher candidates and beginning teachers.

Committee Details

• Meetings: Six times over two years.

Committee Mandate

• Investigate trends, beliefs and challenges in teacher induction.
• Consider the experiences of teacher candidates and beginning teachers.
• Review and recommend improvements to current STF resources and supports.
• Apply an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens to identify and address barriers.

As referenced in Clause 12.3.2 of the 2019-2023 Provincial Collective Bargaining Agreement, a teacher acting as an elected or appointed member of a committee of the Federation who attends a meeting called by the Federation, shall be granted leave and shall suffer no loss of salary and benefits during the course of an academic year for any days required to fulfil the duties of that office.

The Federation aims to engage as many members as possible in organizational operations. Preference will be given to those who do not currently hold other positions in office, committees or boards; however, members may apply for as many openings as desired.
