What Is Teacher Training in Canada?

Teacher education or teacher training refers to the policies, procedures, and provision designed to equip teachers with the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and skills they require to perform their tasks effectively in the classroom, school, and wider community.

There are various types of teacher training:

Training for language acquisition
Training for ESL teachers
Training for teachers teaching their subject in English

Why should you attend the training?

A great teacher is critical to student achievement. So, how does a teacher become great? Just like the training required for any specialized profession, teachers must train. They must train before they enter the classroom, and they must receive ongoing training even as they work in the classroom. From college with certification coursework, to student teaching, to ongoing professional development (PD), teachers are continuously training during their careers.

All this training gives new teachers the greatest chance of success as well as sustain veteran teachers as they meet new challenges in education. When this training does not happen, there is a risk that teachers may leave the profession early. The other concern is that when training is insufficient, students will suffer.

Teacher training is essential for both, a fresh college graduate with an education degree and an experienced teacher that has been teaching for years.
