The QECO evaluation process is recognized by all school boards in the province. Board deadlines and practices with regard to QECO evaluations are determined by negotiation between teachers and their employers and will not affect the integrity or the speed of the evaluation.
Teachers must be aware of their collective agreement language pertaining to QECO deadlines. The onus is on the teacher to ensure they meet those deadlines. Turnaround time for an evaluation can vary from as short as one week to as long as three months, depending on whether or not all necessary documentation is provided by the teacher.
Bear in mind that QECO operates on a first-come-first-served basis and that the volume of applications influences the time required for an application to be processed. Also be aware that applications made without the required courses being completed, or without the appropriate supporting documents being submitted may result in lengthy delays or the application being returned.
