Convention Purpose

Teachers’ conventions have been established through provincial legislation in the province to provide teachers a forum to renew their professional skills on an annual basis.

The Greater Edmonton Teachers’ Convention Association develops programs of general interest to teachers at all levels across a broad field of curriculum. Convention planning takes into account the needs of individual teachers to become aware of new knowledge and trends in teaching and school organization, and also their needs to establish and broaden communications with other teachers on matters of professional concern.

The general nature of the convention is emphasized; by choosing programs and frameworks with broad appeal; by retaining keynote speakers whose message will be of interest to a majority of teachers; and, by limiting the influence of external special interest groups.

Schedules

GETCA's program is complete and available on the Sched site. The 2021 GETCA convention will be a virtual convention with all our sessions available in an online format.

Log into Sched and you will be able to view all the sessions and create your own convention schedule. Remember, only the live sessions are in specific time slots, all the pre-recorded sessions are available 'on-demand' style throughout the convention and until March 12, 2021.
