Education and Training The foundation of this Program is education and voluntary compliance.

The outside contractor shall review and develop on-going educational and training information on the adverse consequences of substance abuse and the responsibility to avoid being under the influence of alcohol or chemicals at work. Certain training required by the DOT Regulations shall be the responsibility of the Substance Abuse Program.
Training a. The employer, in consultation with the local, shall be responsible for developing and implementing an ongoing harassment and sexual harassment awareness program for all employees. Where a program currently exists and meets the criteria listed in this agreement, such a program shall be deemed to satisfy the provisions of this article. This awareness program shall initially be for all employees and shall be scheduled at least once annually for all new employees to attend.
b. The awareness program shall include but not be limited to:
i. the definitions of harassment and sexual harassment as outlined in this Agreement;
ii. understanding situations that are not harassment or sexual harassment, including the exercise of an employer's managerial and/or supervisory rights and responsibilities;
iii. developing an awareness of behaviour that is illegal and/or inappropriate;
iv. outlining strategies to prevent harassment and sexual harassment;
v. a review of the resolution of harassment and sexual harassment as outlined in this Agreement;
vi. understanding malicious complaints and the consequences of such;
vii. outlining any Board policy for dealing with harassment and sexual harassment;
viii. outlining laws dealing with harassment and sexual harassment which apply to employees in B.C.
Courses (a) Courses offered in the high school through UWHS are official UW courses, and students in the courses are eligible to register to earn UW credit in addition to the high school credit awarded by the School/District.
(b) UW courses will be taught in rooms provided by the District and/or School during the academic year. Specific course dates will be determined by the District, which will communicate course plans to UWHS.
(c) Specific to UW French, German, and Spanish courses, mixed-level courses are prohibited. All students in the classroom must be taking the same course and be at the same level of learning the language. For example, a FRENCH 103 course will include only students taking FRENCH 103 and will not simultaneously have students at a higher or lower level of French in the classroom at that time. The School/District may request an exception to this policy, and UW will review each request and promptly notify the School/District of approval or denial of that request.
(d) If a UW course in the high school must shift to hybrid or remote learning, in which part or all of the course instruction occurs without in-person, classroom-based instruction, the teacher will complete a course contingency approval form provided by UWHS. This form will outline the teacher’s plan for conducting the course in this new format. The teacher will submit this to UWHS, and the form will then be routed to the appropriate, discipline-specific UW faculty for review and approval. If the UW faculty have concerns, the teacher will be contacted to revise their plan. If the plan is ultimately denied by faculty, the UW course will be cancelled for UW credit and fees paid by and for all UW-registered students will be fully refunded.
(e) School or District may not combine within the same course section (i.e., all students in the classroom with the teacher) a UW course with another college’s course offered as “College in the High School.” The teacher is only teaching a UW course during that class period. If desired, School or District may partner with other colleges to offer other college courses in separate course sections, taught in different periods.
(f) In some circumstances, UW faculty have approved co-delivery of a UW course alongside an Advanced Placement (AP) course, with the same teacher and students in the same classroom. Such a course would be indicated in the course catalog, transcript, and syllabus as both a UW and AP course. School or District personnel should contact UWHS to confirm which UW courses are approved by UW for co-delivery with an AP course and to ensure course compatibility and syllabus approval.
