Anyone who holds a position in which a Saskatchewan teacher’s certificate is required for employment within the publicly funded school system must register with the SPTRB. Additionally, some employers outside of the publicly funded system may require their teachers to be registered with the SPTRB.
The Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board (SPTRB) is an independent organization charged with the responsibility of regulating the teaching profession in Saskatchewan. The SPTRB is the provincial system of record for teaching credentials. The SPTRB, as do all other self-regulated professions, requires annual registration. The annual registration process requires registrants who wish to practice the profession (as outlined in question number 1) to provide up to date contact information to the SPTRB and to answer a series of disclosure statements. Most professional regulatory bodies also charge an annual registration fee during the registration process. This fee serves as the primary source of revenue for the regulatory body.
