Previous Teaching Experience
Just a reminder to those who are in LTO assignments, that going forward as of September, daily experience as an Occasional Teacher from other Ontario school boards, is now be credited for experience on the grid. Even if you have previously done LTOs with Thames Valley, it might be worthwhile to submit documentation to show you have taught with other Boards since this might move you to a higher salary placement.
LTOs need to make sure when they sign their LTO contracts, that they are getting credit for previous teaching experience and that they have a QECO rating on file with Human Resources. It will take a moment but members only have until July 31st of the school year in which they held a long-term assignment, to ask for adjustments. Call your OT Office if you have any questions.
