Office of the Registrar 2nd Floor, 44 Capital Boulevard 10044 – 108 Street Edmonton, Alberta T5J 5E6 Canada Telephone: 780-422-4199 Dear Applicant: Alberta Education, in partnership with key stakeholders, plays an important role in ensuring there is high quality instruction in Alberta classrooms. The quality of teachers administering these lessons must be consistently high as teachers are entrusted with the care and custody of children, often with minimal supervision, and help to prepare the next generation of Albertans for participation in society and the work force. In keeping with this view, the Certification of Teachers and Teacher Leaders Regulation under sections 7 and 20, allows the Registrar to collect information about any matter relating to individuals’ credentials, including official letters of reference and criminal record checks. In this regard, Alberta Education requires a letter attesting to your standing as a teacher sent directly to this Office by the Principal/Director of the school(s) where you taught. The letter must be on official school letterhead, be dated and signed by the appropriate authority and contain the following details regarding your employment as a teacher: dates of your employment including the total number of days taught grades and subjects taught If you have any questions concerning the above, please feel free to contact the Teacher Certification Branch at teacher.certification@gov.ab.ca. Sincerely, Registrar Alberta Education Updated: March 9, 2020
