Description

The Professional Linking Program (PLP) is a unique teacher education program that enables BC working paraprofessionals, student support workers, para-educators (e.g., education assistants, child and youth care workers, counselors, settlement workers), independent schools educators, and teachers working with letters of permission to become certified as teachers in British Columbia. The PLP is unique in that it enables participants to pursue certification while continuing to work in their current positions for all but the two practicum terms.

The information on this form is collected under the authority of the University Act (R.S.B.C. 1979, c.419), and is needed to process your application for admission. The information will be used to verify qualifications and decide your eligibility for admission, and to improve our academic programs. Documents may be shared with SFU faculty and the BC Teacher Regulation Branch. If you have any questions about the collection and use of this information contact PPS Admissions at 778-782-3559.
