Progression of POPEI
POPEI evolved out of the Provincial Early Intervention Program (Provincial Resource Program at Vancouver School Board)
The Ministry of Education began to transition PEIR to an outreach model in 2012
In the Fall of 2013, the program was transferred to Richmond School District
In January 2014, POPEI officially started its work, with Lisa & Sasha coming on board
POPEI is the 9th Provincial Outreach Program (POP)
POPEI’s mandate is to increase educators’ capacity to support
all learners, particularly diverse and struggling students, in
the classroom.

This is a snapshot into some of the authors in our research library. Through our research we have selected our resources for our website
& formed the basis for our workshop series creation
District Partner Survey
survey
says!
This past Spring, we asked you to complete our District Partner Survey. We graphed out some of the results, which we’ll share with you now, and a little later in the webinar you’ll see how your survey results have shaped our website and supports.
Thanks again to all of you who took the time to share this valuable information with us.
There are two of us to support the entire province.
Our goal is to develop a strong network that connects us to all the districts in the province.
Our first connection to the province is through you - our District Partners.
This is an overview of all of the District Partners across the province

Start Thinking About...
having district conversations & planning
:as our mandate is so broad - collaboration and conversations with several departments & colleagues may be necessary to determine which workshop series you may want POPEI to come and do in your district and who you feel should be in attendance and so on
:workshops would be open to any level of educator in your district (classroom teachers, helping teachers, EAs - anyone who you feel may benefit from the workshop series you've selected
You are in the best position to determine how POPEI can have the greatest, widest impact in your district
