WORTH KNOWING
Listening Circle for Teachers Who Identify as Living with a Disability

With the support of the Alberta Teachers’ Association (Association), teachers across the province who identify as living with a disability are hosting online listening circles to share professional support and opportunities for networking and advocacy.

According to Statistics Canada, between 2017 and 2022, there was an increase in disability rates in every province and most territories. To gain a better understanding of the employment challenges that members who identify as living with disabilities face, the Association held the first listening circle in spring 2024.

Listening circles are held online, and any interested teachers who identify as living with a disability are welcome to join.

Upcoming listening circles:
Thursday, March 20, 2025 – 4:30 to 5:30 PM
Thursday, April 24, 2025 – 4:30 to 5:30 PM
