50.05 Allowance for Teachers of Specialist Subjects

(a) Definition

Any subject can be considered as a field of specialization as they are variable depending on the Provincial Ministry of Education. The definition of Specialization is the recognition of additional training in teachable subject area within the assigned curriculum.

(b) Eligibility

(i) Where a specialist's qualification is recognized by a Provincial Ministry of Education or College of Teachers that qualification will be considered to meet the clause requirements.

(ii) In other cases, the training courses required for a specialization allowance are Post Secondary courses in a subject area within assigned curriculum; namely university accredited courses and/or recognized training courses with the written approval of the Principal (Superintendent or Chief of Education and Training or equivalent). These courses are beyond the basic requirements for teacher certification. An employee who is assigned to counselling duties or teaching duties and who has a total cumulative recognized time of 270 hours of additional training in teachable subject area within the assigned curriculum as defined in (a) and (b).

(c) Allowance

An employee who is eligible under (a) and (b) shall receive an allowance of nine hundred and twenty dollars ($920) per annum in excess of that to which he or she is eligible in view of his or her academic and professional qualifications or experience. No employee will be paid more than one allowance for specialization under this clause. 

(d) Grandfather protection

Any employee who on the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement was receiving a specialist's allowance under clause 50.05 of the Education and Library Science collective agreement expiring on June 30, 2003, will be paid the allowance as long as he or she remains in his or her current substantive position.

(e) Limitation

The same courses will not be applied simultaneously towards salary determination as per the pay grid for Annual Rates of Pay set forth in Appendix A and towards a specialist allowance. If courses already used to determine the employee's eligibility for the specialist allowance are applied for salary determination as per the pay grid for Annual Rates of Pay set forth in Appendix A, the specialist allowance will terminate. On the basis of other additional courses, an employee may reapply for a specialist allowance previously held when it can be determined through a re-evaluation of the total courses accumulated that he or she has met again the requirements in accordance with (a) and (b) for a specialist allowance.
