As a casual teacher working in NSW public schools, you may notice a tick next to your name on your ClassCover teacher profile. This tick indicates your verification status and is visible to both the schools you are currently attached to and those looking to add you to their list.
The verification status is displayed via an integration with the NSW Department of Education and is designed to save time for schools by confirming that you are accredited, approved to teach, and have completed all mandatory training.
What Do the Different Statuses Mean?
Green Tick – 100% Verified to Teach
This means your approval to teach is confirmed, and you have completed all mandatory training.
Orange Tick – Partially Verified to Teach
You will see this status when your approval to teach is confirmed, but your mandatory training is incomplete.
No Tick – Not Verified (Not Matched with NSW DoE)
This status appears when your details haven’t been matched with the NSW Department of Education’s data. To resolve this, check and re-submit your details.
No Tick – Not Verified (Approval and/or Training Incomplete)
This status indicates that your approval to teach is not verified, or your mandatory training has not been completed. It also applies to non-registered teachers, such as SLSOs, EAs, or other personnel working through ClassCover.
💡 Good to Know:
A survey of NSW public schools found that 65% of schools will not book teachers without a green tick. Schools are also removing teachers with orange ticks or no ticks at all from their list, making it crucial to ensure your profile has the green tick.
By maintaining an up-to-date profile and meeting all the necessary requirements, you ensure that your verification status is clear and accessible to schools, improving your chances of being booked for work.
