Definition of Experience. a. One (1) year of teaching experience shall be granted for each year of previous teaching in the public schools of British Columbia. A minimum of eight (8) months of full time employment during one (1) school year is required to constitute a year’s experience. b. Where a teacher has completed, in British Columbia public schools, periods of full time employment, each of less than the above minimum eight (8) months but each of two (2) months or more, the periods may be combined to constitute a year's experience provided the periods equate to eight (8) months. c. Teachers appointed for the full school year (or eight months thereof) in British Columbia public schools as part-time teachers qualify for the experience credit proportionate to the percentage of time they are employed, with the requirement that for a year's credit, the cumulative percentage time over a number of years must equate to at least eight (8) months full time employment (e.g. a person who teaches for two full school years on 40% time would qualify for a year’s experience). These periods of part-time employment may be added together. Such part-time employment credit may be utilized with periods of not less than two (2) months of full time service to constitute a year of credit. Such combinations must equate to eight (8) months.
