From what he was saying, it sounds like in many other Alberta districts you only need to get watched once, and don't need to be in a full year contract to get watched (3 month contract, etc, as long as you hit X amount of overall teaching hours that year - subbing, etc). In CSSD you do. If anything, Calgary Catholic has teachers go through a more rigorous process to becoming certified in Alberta than other districts here.
I find it kind of odd there can be such different standards or processes to achieve the exact same Alberta teacher certification, depending where you are. You would think it would be more standardized and only vary from province to province, not district to district.

I've had close relatives achieve permanent certification at both cssd and cbe and the process was exactly the same in both boards.
