SUMMARY:Voices from the Field: Understanding the Cultural Adaptation and Integration Challenges of Internationally Trained Teachers
DESCRIPTION:This session is the second in a series of three sessions for our Pathways to Success project\, which focuses on valuing the second and additional language education and the professional integration of internationally trained teachers (ITTs). \nFollowing the first session in February 2025\, this second session provides an opportunity to share\, collaborate\, and co-create sustainable solutions to support the professional integration of ITTs and promote their contribution to the advancement of second and additional language education in Canada. \nThe presentation will be delivered in French\, followed by bilingual (English/French) small-group discussions. Participants are welcome to contribute in either language during the discussion period. \nStep 1: Cultural Adaptation and Professional Integration – Challenges and Possible Solutions\nBuilding on research and field experience\, we will highlight the key professional integration and cultural adaptation challenges experienced by ITTs. We will propose concrete solutions by emphasizing the essential role of internships\, coaching\, and mentoring as well as the conditions that promote sustainable and equitable integration\, both for ITTs and their host communities. \nAt the end of the presentation\, participants will have an opportunity to ask questions\, share their thoughts\, and chat with the presenter to expand on the themes discussed and begin a group discussion that will continue during the collaborative activity. \nStep 2: Fostering the Emergence of Knowledge from the Field\nIn mixed groups bringing together administrators and ITTs\, participants will share experiences to find common ground and analyze challenges\, enabling factors\, and successes related to professional integration and cultural adaptation. Each group will be invited to develop a concrete\, realistic course of action applicable at the institution or support-system level. The goal is not to produce ideal solutions\, but to find paths anchored in the realities of the field.
