How much extra duty am I expected to do in addition to the regular teachers 3 classes?
Because regular teachers are required to perform duty in addition to their 3 classes per day, we can be too; and we may be assigned an additional half class on-call or supervision, but not both.” That is normal. What is of particular interest to your union is when an administrator assigns the equivalent of 4 classes without appropriate “extenuating circumstances” being present. Article 11 of the current Collective Agreement states, “The Principal shall make every effort to assign the Occasional Teacher a timetable as close to that of the absent teacher as possible, subject to the workload limitations of the regular teacher except in extenuating circumstances.” Of course, that’s subject to interpretation; but if you feel you’ve been misused, Call the PSOT office and leave a message about the situation. Let us know the date, the school, the VP’s name, and any other pertinent details.
