POPDHH runs a Mentorship program for TDHHs in the province looking for professional development and mentorship opportunities with colleagues in the field. Our mentorship program does not run as an alternative to the TDHH certification required to work as a TDHH in BC. For information about becoming a TDHH please visit the UBC Special Education website.
TDHH Mentorship – Professional Learning Community
The goal of our PLC group is to work together with key stakeholders to create materials that support best practices in educational settings across BC. Some examples of the materials that previous cohorts have worked on are: The DHH Accessibility Guide launched above, and The Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC). The ECC is a framework that integrates and aligns key ECC goal areas with the BC Core Curriculum and is meant to be used as a guide when creating Competency Based IEPs for DHH students in BC.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! As the new 2026-2028 PLC Mentorship Group begins, we are seeking input from fellow TDHHs on future projects. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and share your ideas for resources or tools that would support your practice. Your feedback will help guide our work.
Induction and Retention
This two-year mentorship program supports Teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing through self-directed learning, mentorship partnerships, provincial collaboration, and access to a comprehensive TDHH Toolkit.
