Temporary Teaching Permits
Temporary Teaching Permits are intended for the use in emergent situations where a board of education, conseil scolaire, or a recognized employer of teachers is unable to fill a vacancy normally filled by a person who holds a teacher's certificate.
An employer must submit an Authorization to Teach form in support of a Temporary Teaching Permit (TTP) application along with a copy of the advertisement that was recently posted to recruit a certified teacher to the position. A TTP grants the holder eligibility to teach a specific subject(s), grade(s), or to substitute teach with a specific employer. TTPs are issued to individuals who do not qualify for any other permanent or provisional teacher's certificate only in situations where a Saskatchewan Certified Teacher has not applied for an available position.
Temporary Teaching Permit Process:
Applications are considered complete only once the SPTRB has received:
●
|
|
A completed online application form (including documents required in the form) |
● |
|
Submission of required documents from employer in support of your TTP application |
● |
|
Payment of the application fee (non-refundable and non-transferrable) |
Temporary Teaching Permit applications that are incomplete, resulting in non-issuance of a temporary teaching permit in the school year for which the application was submitted, will be closed and deleted after June 30th annually.
Applications which are submitted without processing the online payment, will be deleted 3 months after submission if payment is not received. Applicants will be required to start a new application using their previously created SPTRB account.
A TTP will only be issued in association with a temporary/term contract or substitute teaching.
A TTP is valid for only the school year in which it was issued and only for that specific employer.
For more details on the requirements, please see Schedule D of the SPTRB Regulatory Bylaws.
The basic requirements for a TTP include:
◊ |
|
High school graduation at least 4 years prior |
◊ |
|
Some post-secondary education or specialized skill (i.e. mastery of a specific language) [preferred] |
◊ |
|
Employers must also provide: |
|
■ |
Authorization to teach form indicating the specific assignment. |
|
■ |
Proof that the position was widely advertised, and a reasonable effort was taken to recruit a certified teacher to the position. |
Only in exceptional circumstances will a Temporary Teaching Permit be considered, for the purpose of substitute teaching, or teaching of First Nation Languages for mature individuals who have not completed high school. Directors of Education should contact the SPTRB Registrar prior to the candidate submitting the TTP application as these situations will be considered on a case by case basis.
If you are a current B.Ed. post-secondary student, please see information below to determine if you are eligible for a TTP. Post-secondary student TTP applications, for the purpose of substitute teaching, will only be accepted until April 30 annually.
