Didn't have a successful interview for the LTO List?
Regulation 274 allows that "If following an interview a teacher is not placed on the long-term occasional teachers list or appointed or assigned to a long-term assignment or permanent position, the teacher is entitled, on request, to meet with the person or panel that conducted the interview to discuss, (a) his or her performance during the interview; (b) measures he or she could take to enhance his or her professional qualifications; and (c) other ways to improve his or her chance of being successful in a similar interview in the future.
Contact Corissa Parker in Human Resources for further details.
