@MrLunde Potentially, but it all comes down to wording.
IF government goes forward, CUPE is ensuring they are at the table for these discussions. Which they should always be anyway.

"Deal includes promise to participate in discussions over standardized credentials for education assistants". Is this a victory of sorts?

We rest a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of paraprofessionals but rarely include them in professional development opportunities. Let's include our paraprofessionals in training for all teachers. #LeadInclusion #SpecialEducation #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

But yes, the School Act is outdated and needs to be updated.

If you want this change your going to have to get the school act changed.

Further, teacher's standards do not apply otherwise each EA would require teacher credentials. The role of the EA is separate and distinct from teachers.

The teachers standards apply. Likely triangulation is what is your concern with a voice who can’t speak to you. 3523.cupe.ca/files/2014/07/…

We can no longer ignore the importance of the EA in our schools. Thank you for publicly recognizing how important standards of practice are, @teachermrskhan. ❤️ #bced

EAs need the training to cope with the increasing complex needs of students. We need EA standards of practice to ensure that the training EAs go through prepare people for this “new realities” of this job. @BCPVPA eastandardsbc.ca

Why do we need standards of practice for EAs?
An example:

Thank you to all those at #AdvoCon2022 @BCEdAccess for joining Ryan and Cindy as they discussed standards of practice for EAs. What a huge conversation that took us right down to the final minute. #bced

EAs raise the dignity of a child who may be unable to do so unaided. 💕

I support seamless child care in our schools.
I support EAs to have whole jobs, not piecemeal.
I support EAs to have standards of practice.
The roles of ECE and EA are not interchangeable.
EAs are crucial to our education system.
