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 at psaday.ca.  
   
• 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.
