Prerequisites

  • Hold a “Certificate of Qualification”  showing successful completion of Part 2. 
  • "Certificate of qualification" must be in good standing.
  • Confirmation of Teaching Experience form, signed by a supervisory officer*, confirming a minimum of two years of teaching experience (equivalent to 388 days) and has taught in the teaching subject for a year.  

*The Ontario College of Teachers defines “supervisory official” as the Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent of the school board for a teacher employed by a Board of Education. (A principal or headmaster is not recognized in this capacity).  The Superintendent must also recognize on this Confirmation of Teaching Experience form that in one of these years, the candidate has demonstrated that significant program and instruction modifications in Reading were explicitly planned, implemented and reviewed in the teacher’s class.  For a teacher employed by a private school, the “supervisory official” is the Ministry of Education official (e.g. Education Officer) appointed to provide supervisory services to the school. The confirmation of teaching experience form must be submitted to our office by the semester deadline date for course approval.
