What we're looking for
It takes a special kind of educator to work with Teach For Canada and our northern partners. Are you the right fit?
What does a successful northern educator look like? They overcome challenges with flexibility and bring the community into their classroom. Outside of school, they get involved in the community, lead extracurricular activities, and explore the natural environment. But above all, they come humbly to learn as much as they teach.
