“It was a wonderful, jam-packed week, and I’m leaving a better teacher!”

—Past Residency Participant

The SCSBC Residency equips Christian educators with practical professional development, anticipating that these practices will lead to deeper learning opportunities for students. Over one week in August, teachers will participate in a growth track of their choosing and work with educational coaches and mentors in small cohorts to design learning opportunities specifically catered to their current practice.

We offer small coach-to-participant ratios to ensure all participants are equipped and confident in introducing or continuing their deeper learning practices in their schools. The program is designed to be flexible, allowing participants to choose a professional or covenant track depending on their individual or school-based needs. In partnership with academic graduate institutions, participants can choose to use their Residency experience as a scaffold to a Master’s program and receive program credits.

We are committed to working alongside schools, administrators, and teachers to ensure that their professional growth fits the needs of the individual and/or the strategic priorities of their school. In partnership with CEBC, we are committed to offering professional development that meets the contractual obligations of Christian educators in British Columbia.
