Secondary Collective Agreement Article 21.15.01.01

In assessing whether to offer mutual consent for any sections to an unqualified teacher, a Principal shall consider each teacher individually and in order of seniority and shall consider the following criteria:

1) professional learning standards, and/or

2) related experience, and/or

3) whether the most recent evaluation on file is below standards, and/or

4) whether any discipline within the previous 12 months that is not the subject of an unresolved grievance might materially affect the ability of the teacher to teach the section(s) without problems, and/or

5) the relevance of qualifications and/or prior to teaching experience to the sections to be taught (although not meant to be or considered as a proscriptive, two examples of many variations and possibilities include: English experience being assessed for teaching History, and vice versa, would be sufficiently relevant, but English experience for teaching Physics or Math, and vice versa, would not be sufficiently relevant).

"Professional Learning Standards" includes, but not limited to Academic Programs completed or completing (programs offered through universities, colleges or other institutions or organizations that do not always lead to academic degrees), Professional Networks accomplished (partnering with business, industry, colleges and universities; contributing to subject councils, the work of the federations or other professional organizations), Professional Contributions made (participate in, present at, or organize conferences, workshops and institutes; contribute to professional publication), Professional Activities sustained (reading educational books, and journals, participate in curriculum writing and/or assessment projects, conduct and publish action research projects; and/or
