We thank you for your interest in FFCA but short-listed candidates only will be interviewed.

The following items are requested with application packages:

1. Cover Letter - cover letters are brief introductions of the applicant. It is a good idea to address it to either the HR Administrator or the Principal of the campus that the position is advertised for. "To whom it may concern" shows a lack of research on the applicant's part as well as mass mail-out job searching. Proof read, proof read, proof read. Nothing gets your submission rejected quicker than spelling errors - especially for Teachers!
2. Current Resume - using a template is a good idea for formatting but make sure all the formatting features are used or deleted. Attention to detail will eliminate errors that reflect poorly on the applicant.
3. Letters of Reference - we request three work related letters of reference. Many employers ask for letters of reference. Not providing them can have a negative result on an applicant's application. If the applicant does not have letters - SAY SO and then start the process of acquiring them. Good reference letters tell prospective employers that the applicant is outstanding, would be a tremendous asset to any school district, etc. A letter stating that you are punctual and reliable only tells an employer that you would most likely be on time for an interview. Is that what you want to be remembered for? If you have someone that has written a letter like that, try and find someone to write a better one that will tell prospective employers that their district has not ever met anyone like you and cannot possibly start another school year without you.
4. Lastly, don't procrastinate on sending in your package. If you intend to apply - DO IT - don't wait for the closing date or worse after the closing date. Application packages can be faxed to 403-520-3209 unless otherwise indicated on the position description or emailed to cheryl.stephens@ffca-calgary.com. Mailing and delivering are also accepted but mail takes way too long. Please do not waste trees and fax multiple times. Call and I will tell you if I received it.

Teaching for FFCA

FFCA teachers must have a valid Alberta Education teaching certificate or be eligible for a Letter of Authority. Membership with the ATA (Alberta Teachers Association) is not mandatory. FFCA teachers may take out an associate membership at the annual cost of $100.00.

Teacher salaries at FFCA are in accordance with Board approved grids. Grid placement is based on education and experience. Providing a Statement of Qualifications of the Teacher Qualifications Service (TQS) is mandatory. The TQS establishes the education component of salary grid placement. TQS information may be obtained from the ATA website. Without a TQS you will be placed at level 4 for the education component of the grid. Apply as soon as you possibly can for your TQS. Processing of this document is extremely slow. Teachers will be asked to provide verifications of experience from previous employers to confirm the experience component on the grid. The current salary grids may be viewed by clicking on the link here: Salary Grids .

FFCA is committed to continuous improvement, valuing and fostering staff leadership. It is firmly believed that professional development is critical to the success of our teachers. The document below illustrates this committment to professional development. It also provides information regarding specialist teachers at FFCA and program resource links for some of the programs FFCA uses to implement the Alberta Education Curriculum.
