For the 2019-2020 school year,
Scholars’ Hall is accepting resumes for both full-time and part-time teaching positions for all grades/ages (JK to grade 12). We are looking for compassionate, knowledgeable, hardworking, responsible teachers. OCT certification is an asset, but not a requirement. Candidates that do not have their OCT certification must demonstrate that their qualifications meet or outweigh that of candidates who do have their OCT certification. Teaching certificates from outside of Ontario will be honoured.
Send resumes and cover letters to Cheryl McKee at principal@sjsh.ca
Scholars’ Hall Staff:
Our teachers, often talk of Scholars’ Hall as their family. Once your child is accepted into Scholars’ Hall, our teachers accept the daunting responsibility to care for them as if they were our own. Scholars’ Hall teachers promise that they will do everything they can to ensure that the young people entrusted to their care are safe, surrounded by good role models, treated with respect and offered every possibility of success.
Teacher Qualifications
There are two kinds of teachers; vocational teachers and occupational teachers. For the vocational teacher, teaching is their life. For the occupational teacher, teaching is their job. At Scholars’ Hall we have instructors who’s vocation is to teach. At Scholars’ Hall we also know that certified does not always mean qualified and we know that all private schools in Ontario are not required to employ teachers certified by the Ontario College of Teachers.
As a result, Scholars’ Hall gives hiring preference; first, to qualified applying teachers with certification from or recognized by the Ontario College of Teachers; second, to qualified applying teachers with other teacher training; third, to qualified applying teachers with a curriculum related university degree or a college diploma; and finally, to those qualified individuals who have the necessary ability, aptitude character and background to teach children. Scholars’ Hall reviews the the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) Public Register for any information relating to teachers who are in or who apply to be in the school’s employ. All of Scholars’ Hall teachers registered with the OCT are members in good standing. As a condition of commencement of employment all full time staff, part time staff and volunteers are required to provide a criminal reference police check which adheres to the policies of the Ontario College of Teachers. All teachers are contractually bound by a code of professional conduct.
As of January 1st, 2017 Ontario’s Accessible Employment Law has been updated. Scholars’ Hall welcomes and encourages applications from people with disabilities. Accommodations are available on request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process.
