It is the responsibility of the individual teacher to apply for an evaluation after additional qualifications have been received or on a yearly basis.
Teachers who have not yet achieved Category A4 are strongly urged to apply for upgrading routes on a yearly basis to ensure that they are following the most expedient and correct routes to higher category placements.
Transcripts or verification of courses completed since the last evaluation must be submitted with an application form. The Ontario College of Teachers and other institutions do not share information with QECO/COEQ nor does QECO/COEQ share information with other institutions and employers.
Teachers are responsible for providing their school board with changes to their QECO/COEQ category placement.
