Teacher Positions and the New School Year

There are four “types” of teachers for the purposes of staffing for a new school year. The “types” of teachers are E1 - regular teachers, E2 - regular with particular status, E3 - temporary teacher, E8 - replacement. There are similarities and differences between the groups. 
​
For all groups the general idea of category vs. workload is the same. Workloads are the specific groups or classes a teacher has. They are never selected by a teacher. 

A teacher’s category is a subject or grouping of subjects. Examples include; Elementary General Subjects, English Language Arts Secondary, Math and Science Secondary, Arts Specialist Elementary, Vocational Administration (Adult sector), Literacy and Pre-Secondary English (Adult sector). Categories are not grade levels. A secondary ELA teacher can be assigned any secondary grade level any given year. 

A teacher’s qualified category/ies affect what positions the teacher is offered.  

The descriptions below apply mostly to the Youth Sector. There are no E2 positions in the Adult sector. All other information is accurate to the adult and VT sector.
