9.04 Teaching Experience

1. The term "teaching experience" where used in this Agreement unless the context expressly provides otherwise, shall mean the aggregate of:

1. Years of teaching experience before the effective date of the individual teacher's contract with the Division referred to in Article 5 of this Agreement, and

2. Years of teaching experience as a member of the staff of the Division from the effective date of the individual teacher's contract until the date the teacher's employment is terminated except as otherwise provided herein, and

3. Years of teaching experience, recognized by Manitoba Education and Advanced Learning while on leave of absence from the Division.

 

2. The following shall be included in determining the aggregate number of years and fraction of years of teaching experience before the effective date of the individual teacher's contract with the Division:

1. The years and fraction of years of teaching experience as determined by Manitoba Education and Advanced Learning; and

2. The periods of Sabbatical Leave from the Winnipeg Staff; and

3. For those teachers who teach Vocational Industrial Education, the length of work experience after qualification in the trade for a period of up to five (5) years for teachers holding a certificate in Vocational Industrial Education or a Letter of Authority for vocational industrial subjects.

4. For those teachers who teach Vocational Industrial Education, in non-trade areas, a period of up to three (3) years shall be recognized for related experience achieved by the teacher after becoming qualified in the area in which they are employed by virtue of having served a recognized apprenticeship or having completed recognized training acceptable to the Division.  In coming to a conclusion that related experience and acceptable training will or will not be recognized the Division shall take into account all relevant factors and shall act reasonably and fairly having regard to all circumstances made known by the teacher prior to the Division determining salary entitlement.

 

3. The following provisions shall apply in determining the aggregate number of years and fraction of years of teaching experience after the effective date of the individual teacher's contract with the Division:

1. A year of teaching experience on the Winnipeg Staff which shall include teaching experience recognized by Manitoba Education and Advanced Learning (including Maternity Leave as recognized by the Department) for teaching experience purposes while on leave of absence from the Division, shall mean ten (10) teaching months or each two hundred (200) teaching days, as the case may be, and shall include any period of Sabbatical Leave, except that every twenty (20) days of absence from service without salary in any school year after the effective date of the individual teacher's contract shall be counted as one (1) month of absence.  An absence from service without salary for a period in aggregate of less than twenty (20) days in any school year shall not be taken into account.

e.g.   -   1 to 19 days equals no absence;

- 20 to 39 days equals one (1) month's absence;

- 40 to 59 days equals two (2) month’s absence; and so on.

 

2. In the case of part‑time teachers referred to in Article 9.06 of this Agreement a year of teaching experience shall mean two hundred (200) teaching days in aggregate.

e.g.   - two (2) one‑half (½) teaching days of paid service equals one (1) teaching day.

- twenty (20) teaching days of paid service equals one (1) teaching month.

- five (5) months of paid service equals one‑half (½) of a school year.
