Welcome to the BTA Pro-D Committee page!

The BTA strives to maintain collaborative professional development for all teachers.

The BTA supports teacher initiated professional development activities as outlined in the Collective Agreement. Together with the Joint Pro-D Committee, the BTA Pro-D Committee coordinates the District Pro-D Day in February of each year. For more information on the District Day, from January through February, click here.

Each school should have a Pro-D Contact or Chair of their school-based Professional Development Committee.  The BTA provides training every October for the Pro-D Contacts. Through the Pro-D Contacts, we hope to ensure that school-based Professional Development remains relevant to the needs of the school staff. Information about the roles and responsibilities of the Pro-D Contact can be found by clicking on the Pro-D Contact tab on the left.

The BTA Professional Development Chairperson is released one day per week. Contact via the BTA office at 604-294-8141 or email to pd41@bctf.ca
