Additional desired qualifications include: subject knowledge, training and experience relevant to the assignment; experience and/or training with current assessment methods; evidence of differentiated instruction and inclusive practices; experience and/or training in classroom management practices and the development of positive learning environments (e.g., Restitution, Tribes, Positive Effective Behaviour Supports, etc.); cross-cultural and/or northern teaching experience; evidence of training and/or experience in the area of Balanced Literacy; training and/or teaching experience in an ESL environment; evidence/experience building positive relationships with students, colleagues, parents, and stakeholders; skills and training using education-related information technology, i.e. SMART Board applications; planning skills (lesson, theme, unit, year, and student support plans); and experience engaging students outside the classroom.

All applicants must be eligible to work in Canada at the time of application. Applicants from outside Nunavut must provide a copy of a current public-school teaching certificate from a jurisdiction recognized by the Nunavut Department of Education or proof of enrollment in the final year of a Canadian Bachelor of Education program. Applications that do not include this documentation will not be considered.
