Teachers learn best from other teachers.

Since 1962, Canadian teachers have collaborated with colleagues in developing countries through the CTF/FCE’s program now known as Teaching Together (formerly Project Overseas) to improve teaching and learning, and to promote equitable, high quality, public education for all. Teaching Together is a joint endeavour of the CTF/FCE, its provincial and territorial Member Organizations, and partner organizations in developing countries to co-plan and co-deliver professional development workshops for local teachers.

Important to note:

Teaching Together is an opportunity for up to 2 NSTU Members to teach alongside colleagues in different parts of the world; to share best practices and learn from one another.
Teaching Together is a volunteer experience. While all administrative, travel, and living expenses are covered by the CTF/FCE and its Member Organizations, no salaries or honoraria are paid to participants. Due to the nature of the work, family or friends are not permitted to accompany the participants during pre-departure orientation or overseas programs.

Interested in participating as a Canadian team member?

Projects take place during the month of July. In order to be considered, candidates must apply through their provincial or territorial teachers’ organization and meet the following basic criteria:

  • Be a Canadian citizen
  • Hold a valid Canadian passport
  • Be a member of a provincial or territorial CTF/FCE Member Organization
  • Hold a valid teacher’s certificate
  • Have completed at least five years of teaching in Canada

Important :

Le programme « Enseigner ensemble » offre à deux membres de la NSTU la possibilité d’enseigner aux côtés de collègues du monde entier, de partager leurs bonnes pratiques et d’apprendre les uns des autres.
Enseigner ensemble est une expérience de bénévolat. Bien que tous les frais administratifs, de voyage et de séjour soient pris en charge par le CTF/FCE et ses organisations membres, les participants ne reçoivent ni salaire ni indemnités. Compte tenu de la nature du travail, la présence de la famille ou d’amis n’est pas permise lors des séances d’orientation avant le départ ni pendant les programmes à l’étranger.
