The BC Rural & Small Schools Teachers' Association was formed in 1982 by teachers across the province. Recognizing unique circumstances and practises of teaching in small, and often remote, schools, our association exists to provide support to teachers of multi-grade classrooms who work and often live within small communities. We recognize both the demands and joys of such teaching and know first-hand the diverse and important roles of teachers and small schools in providing quality teaching to rural children.
