Welcome––Henry Lee, Assistant Director, Professional and Social Issues Division

Welcome to the 2022 Facilitators’ Institute Training (FIT). As a BCTF facilitator, you will be making a tremendous contribution to the teaching profession. Your willingness to present workshops, participate in training, and work with your colleagues helps make the BCTF training program engaging, relevant and vibrant.

This annual three-day training program for BCTF facilitators promotes ongoing learning opportunities for teachers through the workshop program. Sessions are led by classroom teachers (facilitators) who have been trained by the BCTF. The various programs trained at FIT include Professional and Social Issues (PSI), School Union Representative Training (SURT), Teacher Inquiry Program (TIP) and Women in negotiations (WIN).

Delivery vehicles include school workshops, onsite training, and district and agency partnerships. For more details, go to www.bctf.ca/services-guidance/training-and-education and select BCTF workshops.

If you have further questions regarding the BCTF workshop programs, workshop content or design please feel free to contact me or email or call.

I wish you a wonderful time connecting with and leaning from your colleagues from across the province at FIT. Thank you again for your commitment to supporting the BCTF workshops program
