Professional Development Days - Secondary Schools

Secondary schools in the Vancouver district will be closed on the following dates to accomodate professional development days for teachers and administrators.

The Vancouver district remains committed to a rich and varied professional development program for teachers and other staff groups. Staff development is critical for many reasons:

  • to foster effective, learner-centered, high quality educational programs in a rapidly changing environment
  • to encourage the personal growth of individual staff members
  • to plan for continuous school and organizational growth
  • to implement new curricula developed by the Ministry of Education

Professional Development can take many forms, such as reading, studying, participating in research or study groups, attending workshops, seminars and conferences, taking courses, etc. In addition to school-based Professional Development, there is a wide selection of district and external offerings.
