Two aspiring educators are hopeful that the teachers’ win in the Supreme Court of Canada will help their chances of securing a job.
David Lee, 27, and Lina Rizzo, 23, are both Simon Fraser University students in the teacher education program who will be ready for employment next fall.
A $50-million interim agreement inked last week between the province and B.C. Teachers’ Federation means about 1,100 teachers will be hired for the remainder of this school year. But next year, and going forward, the number of teachers required is expected to be even higher after the nation’s highest court restored clauses in teachers’ contracts about class-size limits, specialist teacher ratios and the numbers of special needs students that can be in a class.
Lee said he is happy to hear about the court decision and last week’s announcement of new jobs.
“As student teachers, you expect you’re going to be on the (teacher-on-call) list for a long time and you’re never guaranteed a position or even a (teacher-on-call) job,” said Lee, who is a student teacher (Grade 3) in Richmond’s Garden City elementary school. “So just knowing that … our chances have risen really helps us succeed in the program and want to become teachers.”
Lee has wanted to become a teacher since participating in the volunteer program Katimavik in 2010, but before returning to school he did stints teaching English in Quebec and working as a bartender.
Rizzo is doing her practicum at Lord Tweedsmuir secondary school in Surrey, where she is planning lessons and units to start full-time student teaching by the end of January in an English class.
She says the Supreme Court decision was “extremely reassuring.”
“I have always wanted to become a teacher ever since elementary school when I was a reading buddy to younger students,” Rizzo said. “The passion for this profession got even stronger in my middle and secondary school years, where I had a lot of excellent teacher role models.
“As they have enriched my life, I would love to do the same for others and pass on the message they passed onto me which is that, education is a journey which will take you to your desired destination in your life.”
Last week, Postmedia News reported there is a shortage of teachers in Northern and rural B.C. and that it might be difficult for those districts to recruit teachers. Neither Rizzo nor Lee is considering moving north for a teaching job, although Lee said he wouldn’t rule anything out.
“For a lot of students, including myself, they come out of the program and the option is to either stay and look for a job as a (teacher-on-call) for many years or look for a job internationally,” Lee said. “I think this ruling will keep teachers here a little bit more.” |
