Integration and retention of foreign-trained teachers\nAline Niyubahwe\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor\, Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT). Discover how internationally educated immigrant teachers (IETs)\, with their high qualifications and wealth of experience\, can not only address the teacher shortage\, but also enrich our schools with their diversity and unique role as cultural mediators. This presentation explores the challenges faced by these individuals\, from professional integration to pedagogical adjustments\, and concrete solutions to improve their transition and retention. Ms. Niybahwe helps us understand how these teachers can positively transform our school environments and contribute to inclusive and innovative education. \n2. How to prepare internationally educated teachers? Perspectives from the field\nMichelle Jean-Paul\, PhD\, Assistant Superintendent\, Louis Riel School Division\, Manitoba\, and founder of the Educators of Colour Network. As the person responsible for equity\, diversity and inclusion at the Louis-Riel School Division\, Michelle Jean-Paul knows first-hand the challenges faced by teachers from immigrant backgrounds. She was instrumental in drafting and implementing a policy to facilitate the integration of immigrant and racialized teachers. Through her work with the Educators of Colour Network\, she was able to work with the Manitoba government to relax provisional certification requirements to facilitate access to teaching jobs for immigrant teachers. She will talk about the challenges of accessing positions and her work with school administrators to create an equitable culture within schools and her school division. \nALINE NIYUBAHWE’S PRESENTATION  (PDF) \nMICHELLLE JEAN-PAUL’S PRESENTATION (PDF) \nVIDEO OF THE PRESENTATIONS (ZOOM) – Please note: presentations were communicated in French.
