The BCTF Annual General Meeting (AGM) is where teachers unite to shape the future of our Federation. Do you feel there’s an issue the BCTF should address? Now’s your chance to submit a local resolution!
Your ideas can spark policy changes. Whether it’s about bargaining, education policy, social justice, or any other area, we want to hear from you! The STA Resolutions Committee will help ensure your resolution is clear and well-supported.
Motion:
That the Federation engage in a media campaign to inform interested parties about the lack of specialist teachers that support students with special needs.
Supporting Statement:
It is urgent as professionals that we inform the public about the discrepancy between the principles of inclusion for students with diverse needs as mandated by the Ministry of Education and the lack of human resources to carry out this duty. The reality of the day-to-day demands placed on teachers needs to be made visible to the public. Our professional body, the Federation, needs to speak on our behalf and inform the public about the truth of the inadequacy of resources needed to educate the children of BC.
To see more examples, have a look at the Members’ Guide to the BCTF.
Deadline: Friday, October 4, 2024.
Resolutions will be adopted at the STA General Meeting after school on Wednesday, November 13, 2024.
