Research-backed insights and strategies for Canadian private school leaders.
The fourth analysis in our teacher shortage series. Inside the gap the prior piece exposed: Ontario records 76,868 certified members whose dues no public board pays — a precise number describing a structured but largely invisible population. What the category can and cannot contain, and what it means for teachers inside it.
The third analysis in our teacher shortage series. No Canadian province publishes the number of certified teachers actually teaching. A jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction survey of what each register measures — and why the figure the shortage conversation cites describes everyone ever certified rather than anyone in a classroom.
The second analysis in our teacher shortage series. Canadian-certified teachers working abroad are the one international candidate pool that requires no work permit and faces certificate reactivation rather than foreign credential recognition. A province-by-province map of how to bring them home.
