Conferences

An annual conference is held each spring. It features practical and theoretical sessions related to all areas of CTS. There is also ample opportunity to socialize and renew friendships.

Workshops

At various times in local areas, members will be invited to attend workshops of local concern. The format of these workshops varies from travelling workshops to teleconferences depending on the needs of the members. Members are invited to workshops in their local and surrounding areas

Publications

The CTS circular is no longer in print. Instead we are using a fully web-based product that can be accessed by our members at any time.

Periodically, the council will also publish collections of strand specific resources. Members are encouraged to provide material, favorite ideas, sample tests, etc., that would be of benefit to other teachers. Any material of this nature can be sent to Barnett House, attention CTS Staff Advisor
