  • Assist in the professional development of Council members through communication and the provision of professional experiences
  • Provide leadership in specific areas of education by making representation to the Association, to the Department of Education and to other educational agencies on behalf of the Specialist Council Membership
  • Address any welfare or social issues with direct relevance to student learning
  • Establish affiliations with provincial, national, regional and or North American counterpart organizations.  This would include participation at workshops and meetings.
