History
In 1987 the Ministry of Education re-established a Professional Development Branch in the Learning Programs Division.
The Professional Development Branch combined some functions and staff of the former Evaluation and Supervisory Branch, including the Registrar Services Section, supervision of the Principals' courses and supervisory officer certification, with a new emphasis on programs related to the pre-service and in-service training of teachers.
The Professional Development Branch was re-named the Centre for Teacher Education in 1989. A Policy/Program Section was established in the Centre in 1991. The Centre for Teacher Education became part of the new Education Programs and Services Division in 1992.
In 1993 the Professional Development Branch ceased to exist. Its responsibilities were divided between the Program Policy Support Team and the Teacher and Student Information Services Team of the new Ministry of Education and Training.
