August 17-20th - Educators ~ Presenters Needed 2021 NAME-CaNOE Virtual Conference  
Dear educators, The Call for Presentations is now open for the 2021 Virtual Conference hosted by NAME and CaNOE! This year’s theme is “EDUCATING FOR SUSTAINABLE SEAS: Diving into the Ocean Decade.” Virtual conference sessions, networking opportunities, and social activities will be spread across four consecutive weekdays from Tuesday, August 17, through Friday, August 20. The extended timeline will help minimize online fatigue and allow us to better accommodate the needs of participants from a range of time zones across the U.S.A. and Canada. We invite educators, researchers, students, and resource professionals from the Pacific Northwest and across Canada to submit your proposals using the online form on our website. There will be a range of presentation formats, including short 15-minute sessions, “hands-on” virtual workshops or interactive sessions, and poster.

  Teacher - Local Specialist Associations 

The Pro-D Committee has funding available to support SD71 Local Specialist Associations (LSA).
If you would like to organize an LSA for SD71 please see the 5 steps below.
​The funds can be used to provide snacks for meetings, supplies, resources, day-care costs, thank you gifts for presenters, or even an honorariums.
Please contact teacherprod@sd71.bc.ca if you have any questions or would like to create your own LSA!

5 Steps to set up your Local Specialist Association (LSA) 
1-  Email teacherprod@sd71.bc.ca your LSA group name (examples: Library, Home Economics, Kindergarten, Counsellors, etc.) 
2- Constitution/mission statement - brief goals for the LSA (just a couple of lines summarizing)
3- Give us a list of members/participants for your particular LSA 
4- Collect a small fee ($2- $10) from each member for costs/resources to run the meetings
5- When you run out of funding from fees, you can utilize the $250 set up in your LSA with the Pro-D secretary @ teacherprod@sd71.bc.ca
