Minister of Education at BCPVPA Chapter Council

BC Minister of Education, George Abbott, was guest speaker at the BCPVPA Chapter Council last night. He spent some time talking about his vision to move BC education from good to great. He is looking at making some changes, via collaboration with various groups, including the BCPVPA (BC Principals and Vice Principals Association). BC Education Plan has five elements: personalized learning for every student; quality teaching and learning; flexibility and choice; high standards;and learning empowered by technology He did talk about the current job action and he doesn't seem to think that there will be a quick resolution to end the current situation. He does want us to let parents know that teachers do have a responsibility to communicate with parents to ensure that they know how their children are doing. He is a politician so he wasn't able to share all of his thoughts with us. Have a great weekend! Mr. H
