BCSSA New Member Services

The key work of the BCSSA is to enable our members to be visionary leaders of public education by supporting their individual professional development and representing their collective wisdom and interests.

Leadership Development Services for New Members

Membership in the BCSSA provides various opportunities for professional growth and collegial networking through annual conferences and forums that welcome to the BCSSA focus on advancing the student achievement agenda, effective leadership and the sharing of best practices.

As part of its commitment to provide support services to members new to their district role and the association, the BCSSA offers special sessions during the first two years of membership. These sessions help new members enhance their leadership skills and present opportunities to network with colleagues through the province, particularly those at the BCSSA and Ministry of Education. There is no cost to attend.

One day sessions for new members are held just prior to and at the same location as BCSSA's major annual professional development events:

  • Summer Leadership Academy (August in Kelowna)
  • Fall Conference (November in Victoria)

Also included in the program is the presentation The District Effect on Student Learning by Robin Brayne, Deputy Director for the Centre for the Study of Educational Leadership and Policy at Simon Fraser University.
