Teach in a Northern First Nation: An Introduction
During this webinar, teachers and community representatives will share stories from their schools and community. You will hear about some of the unique experiences teachers have while in the North, and then we’ll focus on strategies for working through challenges specific to this context. Community representatives will share more about their First Nation, as well as what they look for in a teacher. This webinar will provide you with a brief introduction to Teach For Canada, including more information about how to apply to teach in the North.
This webinar consists of a presentation by a Teach For Canada Staff member and panelists who are currently living in a northern First Nation. You will also hear about how teachers have been navigating teaching in the North with COVID-19 impacting schools and education. We encourage you to participate through the chat box and the occasional poll question. Are you interested in going North with non-teaching family members? We encourage them to also participate in this event so they can asses their own fit for a northern First Nation.
