Th fier welcoming remarks to: the new teachers: Mrs. Hughes urged them to become actively involved in their pro- fessional organization; to de- mand the highest standard, the finest quality and adherence to ~ thelr code of ethics. In his speech Mr, Broadley outlined three objectives of the “'BCTP. The objectives indicate the way in which the teachers pent province, through CTF, have been able to work te the improvement of educa- the firat objective from the beginning of the BCTF has been to foster and promote the quality of education in British. Columbia. For several’ years in the 1940's and the early 1950's it was the BCTF, it wasn't other groups in the community, but the BCTF that insisted and fought: for improvement: of, tescher education in the prov- ince. According to Mr. Broadley “We are still waging the battle toimprove teacher education in this province: because we still think there is a long way to go.” It was the BCTF that finally convinced the govern- | ment) that it should 1 move y:teacher education from:a one- * year training program beyond grade 12 into the universities . where much greater in-depth " ‘study could be undertaken by people who were planning to become teachers, ‘That changed the quality of education in this province because it reaulted in a change in the group who became . teachers. ‘The second objective of the BCTF, since its beginning, was to improve the ‘status of the - teaching. profession in: British Columbia, eV Only after all teachers became members of the BCTF. could a code of ethica be. made to apply to all who were in the teaching profession. “4A code'of ethi taken against /a person for a violation of: the code, that the action can be meaningful. The meaningful action was’ the authority to reprimand a mem- ber, to suspend: the member- ship, or to terminate the membership in the BCTF, of a teacher found guilty of a violation of the code of ethics. That serves as.an enormous protection to the quality of. “education in this province,” he sald: The third . objective of the: ECTF is to protect the econom- ic welfare of teachers, “In his concluding remarks Mr, Broadley quoted.a young teacher who said, “I have come to a frightening conclusion; I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal ‘approach that creates the cli- mate. It is my dally mood that makes the weather.’ As 8 teacher, J possess tremendous power to’make a child's life miserable or joyous.
