Nunavut Professional Improvement Committee (NPIC):

The NPIC establishes all of the policies and procedures dealing with professional improvement matters involving NTA members. This committee consists of two NTA members and two NTA members; they work with the PI Coordinator and the PI Funds Administrator to ensure that funding set aside for professional improvement activities is utilized according to the criteria established under the Collective Agreement.

The NPIC logo reflects that this is a partnership between the NTA and the GN Department of Education.

Professional Improvement

Aside from protecting its members, the NTA is very active in promoting and encouraging professional improvement. There are many opportunities for NTA members to access funding to support professional improvement activities. With Article 16 of the Collective Agreement, all NTA members are eligible to apply for short-term assistance to complete certificate, non-certificate, and university courses. As well, each NTA member is entitled to five professional improvement days in an academic year.

Through the Nunavut Professional Improvement Committee, on which two NTA members sit, members have the resources of a Professional Improvement Coordinator, Professional Improvement Development Officer, and Professional Improvement Fund Administrator.

Each school has a Professional Improvement Liaison who acts as a resource person for professional improvement. Please see the PI Liaison at your school, or call the NTA PI Coordinator, for specific details, regulations, and limitations on what you can access in regards to professional improvement. You can access the latetest version of the PI Resource Book bellow.  Each school and PI Liaison should have a print copy of this book.
