The Sea to Sky Teachers' PD Fund is disbursed through the SSTA Office. However, each school administers their own PD funds based on decisions made by their school-level committees.
If you have questions or would like to know how much money is available for your PD activities, speak to your PD Rep or call us at the SSTA office.

PHILOSOPHY OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Sea to Sky Teachers Association and the Board supports the principles of Professional Development as embraced by the BCTF and BCPSEA.
Definition and Purpose of Professional Development
Professional Development is broadly defined as any activity or event whereby a teacher can update their knowledge or expertise in a field of studies. A teacher may also pursue learning that is beneficial to the teaching profession. There will also be opportunities to keep current of developments in teaching styles or strategies, and to become aware of changes in educational philosophy and education in general.
