TIE-BC Professional Development Scholarship
The Inclusive Education Professional Development Scholarship was developed to promote the specialist training of practicing teachers currently working in the field of inclusive education. Two $1000 scholarships will be available each year for teachers enrolled in inclusive/special education courses. Scholarships will be awarded for registration in regular semester, intersession or summer session courses during the period from July 1st to June 30th.
 
Rationale:
  • to increase the pool of qualified inclusive/special education teachers;
  • to support teachers who wish to upgrade and/or increase their qualifications in the field of inclusive/special education;
  • to assist practicing teachers who are returning to university; and
  • to assist regular education teachers who are in the process of changing their teaching component or specialty to inclusive/special education.
 
Applicants must:
  1. be currently enrolled in diploma or graduate level courses in inclusive/special education at a recognized university;
  2. be a member of the BCTF (preference will be given to a member of TIE-BC);
  3. be a practicing teacher in a BC public school;
  4. submit a letter detailing:
    1. program of study;
    2. current teaching position;
    3. personal experience which demonstrates interest in and commitment to working with children with diverse needs;
    4. future goals related to working in the field of inclusive/special education; and
    5. relevance of coursework to achieving future goals.
  5. submit a letter of support from an instructor of an inclusive/special education course; and
  6. submit all documents to the TIE-BC President by January 5th of the year in which the scholarship is to be awarded.
 
Nominations must be received by e-mail by the January 5th closure date.  Late nominations will not be considered.
