PROFESSIONAL INTEGRATION OF IMMIGRANT TEACHERS IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Keywords:
Immigrant teachers, Teachers of recent migration, Immigrant teaching personnel, professional integration, Integration of immigrant teachersAbstract
This literature review article investigates the professional integration of teachers recently immigrated to Canada and other western countries. Its findings reveal a number of obstacles to the integration of immigrant teachers into the teaching profession. The review summarizes different initiatives facilitating or hampering immigrant teachers’ access to employment and professional integration. It also notes that there is little research on teachers’ professional integration in Western French speaking countries in general, and more particularly in Quebec where these teachers are often relied upon because of the shortage of personnel in this profession.
L’INSERTION PROFESSIONNELLE DES ENSEIGNANTS IMMIGRANTS DANS LE MILIEU SCOLAIRE : RECENSION DES ÉCRITS
Cette recension des écrits porte sur l’insertion professionnelle des enseignants immigrants au Canada et ailleurs en Occident. Les résultats mettent en évidence divers obstacles à leur insertion dans la profession enseignante. Ils permettent également de prendre connaissance de certaines mesures qui favorisent ou nuisent à leur intégration dans l’emploi et au sein de l’équipe-école. On constate aussi que peu de recherches sont faites sur le sujet dans les pays francophones en général et au Québec en particulier où on compte sur l’apport de ces enseignants pour combler les besoins de main-d’œuvre.
