The Government of Northwest Territories is adopting Pathways to Teach Canada, a pan-Canadian service that simplifies the evaluation of internationally educated teachers’ credentials and language competencies. The initiative provides a descriptive assessment of internationally educated teachers’ credentials and a report on their language skills, which makes it easier for NWT education bodies to recruit internationally educated teachers. “Recruiting qualified educators is critical to reaching our goals to improve student outcomes in the NWT,” said NWT Minister of Education, Culture, and Employment Caitlin Cleveland. “By joining this pan-Canadian initiative, internationally educated teachers who want to teach in the Northwest Territories will have a bilingual, single point of entry to assess their credentials and language competencies.”
