Working on the "Frontline" of Education: Full Day Kindergarten Working and Learning Conditions Survey. BCTF Research
British Columbia Teachers' Federation
In Spring 2018--almost a decade into province-wide implementation of Full-day Kindergarten--the British Columbia Teachers' Federation (BCTF) Research Department and British Columbia Primary Teachers' Association (BCPTA) investigated who the K/K-1 teachers are, how they teach and learn, and whether they have the resources and supports needed to effectively carry out their professional work. This report presents highlights from the BCTF/BCPTA 2018 Full day Kindergarten Working and Learning Conditions Survey. With a response rate of almost 50% of current K/K-1 teachers in the province, the survey provides a reliable snapshot of K/K-1 teachers' classroom spaces and teaching approaches, professional learning experiences, and advice for creating better learning and working conditions for themselves and their students.
