From the April/May 2025 LATA newsletter: here
Every year the Learning Assistance Teachers’ Association (LATA), a Provincial Specialist Association of the BCTF, makes significant contributions to the public education system through curriculum initiatives, in-service education, professional development, ministry committees, publications, presentations and conferences. Our primary focus is on supporting educators working with struggling learners. 2024/2025 was no exception.

- Planned and presented our yearly PSA Day Conference: Literacy: A Fundamental Right, A Universal Right.
- Developed and expanded upon our equity and accessibility guidelines for LATA members.
- Reviewed and revised LATA‘s policies and procedures.
- Provided feedback to the Ministry of Education through our BCTF Ministry liaison.
