Alberta’s government is making some changes to get more instructors into classrooms.
Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides has introduced four new expedited teaching certificates to help qualified individuals enter classrooms sooner.
The new certificates will allow bachelor of education students in their final year of study to begin teaching.
The certificates will also apply to internationally trained teachers, tradespeople and other skilled professionals with relevant expertise in their fields.
