The head of the Alberta Teachers' Association says the rollout of new policies banning cellphone use in classrooms starting this fall has some teachers confused.
WATCH ABOVE: : Come fall, Alberta will implement a ban on all personal electronic devices in K-12 classrooms. This includes cell phones, smartphones, headphones, smartwatches, and other electronics, which must be turned off and kept out of sight during class time. Craig Momney has the details – Jun 17, 2024President Jason Schilling said about two weeks before most kindergarten to Grade 12 students go back to class, it’s unclear why new provincial standards will be in place for Sept.
Those include rules on how cellphones will need to be stored, “roles and responsibilities, consequences, and annual notification that are reflective of the province’s expectations.”Schilling said it’s important students and parents understand what happens when the rules are violated. Instead, the government could call for all the rules to be in place on Jan. 1 so that there’s clarity, he said.
