French Immersion
Issue:
The recruitment of French Immersion teachers presents significant challenges for both Alberta school districts and Saskatchewan school divisions. As a result, school districts/divisions are increasingly developing a local professional development route to create a local cadre of prepared French Immersion teachers and vice-principals.
Goal:
To support French Immersion teachers and administrators in earning a Master's degree at a recognized university.
Concept:
Fund up to two teachers per year in the following manner:
Structure:
Pay tuition up to $5000.00 per year to a maximum of $10,000.00 for tuition in a university recognized by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Learning with the following understandings:
- The cost of tuition will be reimbursed for the successful completion of each class in a recognized Masters of Education program to a maximum of $5000 per year.
- Return service does not include time for leaves.
- This bursary requires a three-year commitment of return service from the teacher following the successful completion of the Master's program
Implications:
- The Board of Education's financial commitment will range from nil to $10,000.00 per year dependent on the number of applicant's selected for the bursary.
- Teachers and administrators accepting this bursary may apply for an administrative position; but participation, though an distinct asset, forgoes an open employee selection process.
