Provincial Specialist Associations

What are PSAs?

The BCTF includes 32 provincial specialist associations (PSAs) . PSAs are channels for members to exchange ideas on research, teaching strategies, curriculum development, and other shared interests.

Contact PSA Council members by e-mail to ask about their PSA.

What do PSAs do?

• PSA conferences
  Each year, scores of volunteers organize provincial and regional conferences for colleagues. The PSA conferences are highlighted on the BCTF's PD Calendar as well as in the PSA conference brochure.  
   
• PSA workshops
  Many PSAs offer workshops for schools or districts, often at cost. Please contact PSAs directly for more information on the workshops that they offer. 
   
• PSA publications
  Volunteers, who are teachers themselves, produce newsletters and/or journals. BCTF members may join any of the Federation's PSAs. Subscriptions to PSA publications are available to non-BCTF members or institutions. 
   
• E-mail lists
  Subscribe to any of the PSA e-mail lists. Some lists are open to all members.
