Episode Details

Alberta introduces new teacher certificates to combat teacher shortage, targeting final-year education students, international teachers, tradespeople, and skilled professionals with real-world experience. These trade and specialized certificates allow individuals with at least five years of experience in their field to teach grades seven through twelve in their expertise after completing four prep courses, including a practicum for an interim certification. Final-year bachelor of education students and international teachers can also obtain developmental and conditional certificates, respectively, to teach kindergarten to grade twelve starting from 2026-2027. Post-secondary spots for these courses are being prepared, with up to eighty two-thousand-dollar bursaries available, and schools can hire these new cert holders next school year.
