Social media attacks on professional conduct
The Alberta Teachers’ Association is aware that a third party is developing a website asking members of the public to identify or comment on the actions of individual teachers. We understand that this has raised concerns as you prepare to return to your classrooms.
Your Association is working with legal counsel, communications advisers and the government to address this provocation and protect you from harassment, misinformation and attempts to undermine confidence in public education.
Avoid engaging with or amplifying the efforts of the website. If you become aware that you have been negatively named, portrayed or referenced on any website or social media platform, you do not have to deal with it alone. Please contact Teacher Employment Membership Support (TEMS) immediately at 1-800-232-7208. The Association is committed to supporting, defending and protecting any member who is affected.
