The BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) is seeking six members to participate as BCTF representatives for a two-year term on a Ministry MyEducation BC Teacher Advisory Group. This group will be coordinated by the new Connected Services BC (CSBC), a division of the Ministry of Citizen Services, which from October 1, 2025, will be responsible for digital services across all government ministries.

BCTF members selected will represent the BCTF as follows:

In addition to public school teachers, the Ministry may appoint representatives from other K–12 rightsholder and stakeholder groups. These group members will not be appointed by the BCTF.

Project:

Connected Services BC (CSBC), in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Child Care, seeks to establish a MyEducation BC Teacher Advisory Group for a two-year term of reference to ensure that the teacher voice and perspective is heard and integrated into the evolution of the provincial Student Information System (SIS), MyEducation BC (MyEd BC), to ensure SIS meets the current and future needs of teachers across the province.

The Ministry is seeking teachers with varying levels of proficiency in using MyEducation BC, from new users to experienced ones, and representing a range of roles within their school communities. These roles include, but are not limited to, student services, adult education, alternative education, Indigenous education, online learning, and school counselling.

Purpose:

The role of the MyEducation BC Teacher Advisory Group will be to:

• share teacher experiences and provide feedback on the current system’s strengths and areas of needed development
• advise on types of resources and supports teachers need
• advise the Ministry on effective teacher communication strategies
• contribute to the 2026 MyEducation BC Academy session agenda planning
• assist in developing SIS supports and resources, if applicable
  

Commitment

Successful applicants will be appointed for a two-year term, ending June 30, 2027.  The work will involve three two-hour virtual meetings in each of the 2025–26 and 2026–27 school years. Teacher representatives will also receive an invitation to attend the MyEducation BC Academy, at Ministry expense, in any year it occurs.

Compensation

Ministry will issue Leave of Absence letters and reimburse school districts for any meetings held during school hours. Participating teachers will be remunerated, by the Ministry of Education and Child Care, at the rate of $325 for each 7 hours of work done outside of school district-contracted hours including hours of homework time when a TTOC is not required.  This will include meetings and directed time spent on review and development outside of meetings.  

Transportation, accommodation, and meal costs will be reimbursed according to BC Government rates and guidelines for in-person meetings requiring travel.
