Who are the secondary English teachers of B.C.?
Secondary English teachers appear to be somewhat younger than the general teaching population. Over 47 per cent of survey respondents are under age 40, compared to 33 per cent provincially. The age breakdown of respondents points to two age brackets that together comprise almost two-thirds of English teachers, the first group in its 30s and the second in its 50s. The latter group is the only age group where respondents’ age distribution matches the larger provincial age profile. Of particular interest in the profile of overall returned surveys is the smaller percentage of teachers aged 40–49 years.
