Call for Fall 2026 Conference workshop proposals

Apply to present at the Provincial Intermediate and Middle Years Teachers' Association (myPITA) 2026 Fall PSA Day Conference on Friday, October 23, 2026. This conference will be delivered in person at SFU Harbour Centre in downtown Vancouver and online. Submit your workshop proposal by noon on March 6, at https://sessionize.com/mypita.

Accepted myPITA workshops are a combination of lectures and hands-on experiential learning that deliver BC curriculum-aligned information and exemplify best practices about any subject or topic relevant to Grades 4–9 intermediate and middle school teachers from across the province. During the workshop, attendees should receive information, techniques, and resources that they can immediately implement in their classroom without purchasing any resources; therefore, workshops that are promotional or that sell a product or service are not accepted.
 
Perks of being a myPITA presenter include:
  • Sharing your knowledge and experience with teachers from across the province. 
  • A per-workshop honorarium for teacher-presenters.
  • Complimentary conference registration and myPITA membership for BCTF members.
