Teacher
Certification and Classification

The
Diploma is designed as an in-service program for qualified teachers
and others working in educational situations. It does not carry

| |
|

All

degree and have been assigned Category 5, the Diploma will satisfy
the requirements for advancement to Category 6. |

Cautionary
Notes |
| |
|
1.
|
This cautionary note applies to present B.Ed students, including
NITEP. When you complete your B.Ed you will apply for and receive
a professional teaching certificate from the British Columbia
College of Teachers and a Category 5 from the Teacher Qualification
Service (TQS). The next and highest TQS category will be 6.
Some school districts, in their collective agreements, permit
a category between 5 and 6 called 5+30 credits. The collective
agreements for each district stipulate the particular 30 credits
and the conditions under which they will accept them. For example,
some districts require a mixture of graduate and undergraduate
courses only. Other districts will accept only courses taken
after the TQS has awarded Category 5 and you have worked for
some time before taking the 30 credits. This means that some
districts will not accept surplus courses taken during pre-service
studies, regardless of UBC’s 18 credits which can be taken
before applying formally to the Diploma. Check the collective
agreements for the districts to which you apply, if you intend
to apply your Diploma to the districts 5+30 category.
|
2. |
Not all school districts accept Pass/Fail courses as part of
the Diploma or 5+ 30 categories. If you plan to take a Pass/Fail
course, check with your school district if you plan to apply
it at the district level. |
