Guiding Our Practice

​​​​​​​​​​  

The framework below is in concordance with our numerous district policies, codes of conduct, as well as federal and provincial laws. It is important for all of us to read and understand these documents, found in the Reference section.

This section is targeted to educators. It highlights the responsibilities of all educators and the resources supporting them. Much like the Rights and Responsibilities document, this framework is also divided under four key headings:
  • Privacy
  • Copyright
  • Use and access to information
  • Behavioural expectations when using digital tools in an educational setting​

RESPONSIBILITIES
