Our approach
Overall, Canadian education is a success story. But high overall quality masks deep
inequality. On First Nations reserves, 3 in 5 students do not complete high school.
Small communities often face challenges recruiting and retaining teachers. And, too
often, new teachers arrive in northern and Indigenous communities without the
preparation and support they need to succeed—and stay—in the classroom.
Teach For Canada has joined northern First Nations communities in the movement to
make education more equal. We are a non‐profit organization that recruits, prepares,
and supports outstanding certified teachers.
Our culture
We dream big. Teach For Canada believes that committed, passionate teachers with
strong leadership characteristics can ignite positive change. Our small, tightly knit
team works long but inspired hours. Our workplace culture is intense and
collaborative. We value lived experience and new ideas.
If you prefer working alone, dislike ambiguity, and adhere to a very strict schedule,
then Teach For Canada probably isn’t right for you. But if you’re looking for a fun,
fast‐paced, multi‐faceted, energizing, and rewarding work environment that will push
you every single day, then we want to hear from you.
