Full Day Kindergarten – Recruitment, Selection and Retention Tool Kit.
In August 2009, the Ministry of Education announced that full day kindergarten would be implemented for all kindergarten students in British Columbia over the next two years.
The implementation plan, led by the Early Learning Branch of the Ministry of Education, involves a staged approach with funding for an additional 15,000 students to access full day kindergarten in the first school year (2010-2011) and 100% of eligible students having access to full day kindergarten by 2011-2012.
As part of our role in providing comprehensive support and resources to British Columbia public school districts in the areas of recruitment, selection and retention, Make a Future – Careers in BC Education has examined human resource issues relating to the full day kindergarten. This toolkit provides strategies and resources to assist districts at all three stages of the hiring process—recruitment, selection, and retention.
