LSAs

Local Specialists' Associations 2019 - 2020

A Local Specialist Association (LSA) is a group of teachers working together for the promotion and advocacy of professional development in their specialist area. The association provides channels for members to exchange ideas on research, teaching strategies, curriculum development, and other shared interests.

Membership in an LSA is strongly encouraged for teachers in Peace River North as a way of connecting with colleagues and strengthening our profession.

Each LSA helps support it's members by supporting attendance at PSA or other conferences as well as providing local Pro-D opportunities.

Information on PSAs can be found on their list of websites at: http://bctf.ca/PSAwebsites.aspx
