Professional Learning Services
Providing hand-on training support for building capacity within schools and districts.
Overview
Professional Learning Services (PL Services) are intended to provide broad support for building capacity within schools, amongst classroom or specialist team members and to support district initiatives. The goal is to acquire and implement technology successfully to support diverse learners in the classroom. Services could include consultation during a school or district planning process, face-to-face or online workshops and courses, and/or support for professional learning communities.
SET-BC will continue to offer a partnership opportunity for certain PL Services. SET-BC educators may pair with district or school staff to plan and co-present a few specialized services.
Professional Learning Services will be identified by school or district teams and requested through our online SET-BC Professional Learning Service Request (link available below). Topics to be presented at the various professional learning activities could be selected from knowledge of previous SET-BC workshops and courses, or could be co-developed with district or school staff to address unique professional learning needs. Topics offered might include: Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Inclusion for All, Technology Tools to Support Executive Functioning, Introduction to Built-in Accessibility Tools, and Shadow Support for Students with Diverse and Significant Learning Needs (for district specialists only).
How it Works
- Complete and submit our SET-BC Professional Learning Service Request form below.
- PL Service Requests can be made anytime throughout the year. Please submit your request at least one month before your first preferred PL Service date. This will allow for enough time to review the request, determine if we can support it, and, if we can support the request, prepare for its delivery.
- Once you’ve submitted a request, a SET-BC representative will reach out with next steps.
- SET-BC educators can also pair with district staff or other Provincial Outreach Programs to plan and co-present a few specialized services.
