Description
The purpose of this report is to identify the specific professional needs of foreign-prepared teachers in Alberta, to describe the essential elements of a pilot program created to address those needs, and to offer solutions for comprehensive support for foreign-prepared teachers as they seek to bridge the gap between their previous teaching experiences and those expected in the Canadian context. This report can serve as a resource for teacher preparation institutions and school boards throughout Alberta as they seek to create provisions in their jurisdictions for the certification and employment of foreign-prepared teachers.
