Reminder for October 21st Provincial PD Day:
1- If a teacher remains at their school/location of work to do their pro-d - no form is needed
2- If a teacher is going to be out of the district to do pro-d, you must put in absence in AMS 'Pro-D Out Of District' with destination & details and have principal's approval.
3-If a teacher is doing pro-d outside their school/ regular work location, but within the district (another school, museum, etc.), they must complete an online self-directed form.   Once you've completed the online form, you need to copy the self-directed request to your principal for approval (bottom of page).

  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
