The Hiring Process

We have received several enquiries this past week from members pertaining to the hiring process and how it unfolds. 
In a nutshell, there are three (3) rounds of hiring for permanent teachers. Initially, it is an internal process for permanent teachers only.  Occasional Teachers cannot apply at this point.  Once Round 3 is completed, the Board reviews what positions have been filled, what jobs may still be available, complete any and all transfers, etc.  Only when Round 3 is completed will the postings be available on "Apply to Education" - these may be available by June-end, where these postings will be up and open for application by the OT.

Please refer to your Collective Agreement - Article 17.04
a) When interviews are conducted for a position posted at the completion of the internal elementary staffing process, at least three (3) Occasional Teachers who have indicated an Interest in an Elementary Teaching Position, and who are qualified for the posted position and who apply for the posted position, shall receive an interview when interviews are conducted for the posted position for a school.
c) If an external candidate and a member from the Occasional Teacher List are under consideration for a position, and all other factors are equal, the member from the Occasional Teacher List will receive the appointment.

On another note, with regards to LTOs that have just been posted on 1st class, the Board will release an LTO to take a permanent position but will not release an LTO to take another or  more desirable LTO.

Additional LTOs will be posted on First Class > Occasional Teachers' Folder on August 15th.
