Northern Classroom Teacher - Gakino'amaage : Teach For Canada

Employment Type : Graduated Student

Closing Date : March 1, 2026

Full-time, K-12 Northern Classroom Teachers

Gakino'amaage : Teach For Canada is recruiting teachers for full-time classroom positions in First Nations in northern Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Successful candidates will start teaching in September 2026.

Why we exist :

Education in Canada is a success story, but high overall quality masks deep inequality. The twin challenges of teacher supply and turnover compound historical injustice and systemic inequities to produce an education gap between First Nations and non-First Nations communities.

Gakino'amaage : Teach For Canada is a non-profit organization that works with northern communities to recruit, prepare, and support committed teachers who will support student success in the North.

Minimum Qualifications :

• Certified or certification-eligible to teach in a Canadian province or territory
• Legal working status in Canada for the minimum two-year teaching commitment
• Available to attend the Summer Enrichment Program in July 2026
• Able to relocate and teach full-time in a northern First Nation

Who we look for :

As an organization that works with First Nations, we value Indigenous perspectives in our program and encourage Indigenous candidates to apply.

2026 Selection Process :

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and you will hear back within two weeks of submission.

The next deadline to apply is March 22nd, 2026.

First Nations partners will begin extending offers of employment to selected teachers at the end of Community Matching Interview week and onwards.
