Come in Substitute Teachers
So i am looking for some help. I am wondering what it takes to become a substitute teacher. I am not sure where to look or even start. Wondered if anyone could help me. Also wasn't sure if its different for each province or not. I live in BC and just want some help. Thanks ahead of time for all the help.
Re: Come in Substitute Teachers
I'm a teacher in Ontario, so I don't know how much help I'll be, but here's what I would suggest. Take a look at your local school board's website. I know my school board has a spot on their site that explains how to get in as a supply teacher. Does BC have a college of teachers? Here in Ontario we have one, so that's another place to look.
GL!
As far as I know (from friends who are teachers, and what I remember being told from teachers-on-call when I was in high school), the process to become a TOC is the same as to become a teacher. Do you mind if I ask where you went to school? Do you have your PDP? I'm just wondering why your academic advisor didn't walk you through this process.
I'm not a teacher, but in 95% sure that the process is that you get your teaching certification, get hired on at a school board, and they start calling you as a TOC. Once you have accrued enough seniority to hold a full-time position then you can apply for it.
In most areas of BC there is currently a huge amount of teachers and not enough positions. I worked in a high school last year as a youth worker and I know many teachers were losing their jobs, because other schools across BC had closed and more senior teachers were bumping in. I have a couple friends who have graudated school and can't get on right now because there is such a huge flood of teachers. But it probably depends on where you live specifically (Quathiaski Cove, I've never heard of that- really small towns might have fewer teachers).
Okay, I Googled Quathiaski Cove and it looks like it's part of the Campbell River school district (72), and they're not hiring for any teaching or TOC positions right now at all. They are hiring a spec ed teacher's assistant but it looks like its an internal posting only.
However, on the school district's page they outline the steps to become a teacher or TOC with them, and the process is the same for both, like I thought. http://www.sd72.bc.ca/recurring/jobopportunities.asp
Hi,
I am currently substitute teaching in Ontario, and I am pretty sure that BC has different procedures but I can offer up what I know.
Here you have to be certified to teach in Ontario, and then you have to check on each school board's website for application information. Each board has it's own hiring practices - some post openings on their website, while others you have to be hired on to an eligible to hire list before you can begin supply teaching.
I wish I could be of more help, but I don't know how things work in BC. I agree with previous poster about seeing if BC has a college of teachers, and start by asking them.
