The Queen's Placement Office sponsors the Teachers' Overseas Recruiting Fair, which is for certified teachers with at least two years of full-time elementary or secondary classroom experience. Teacher candidates from other universities and teachers without two years experience are welcome to apply and will be accommodated as space allows.
The recruiting fair provides a forum for teachers to have face-to-face interviews with administrators of international schools or their representatives.
The schools have been screened and we do not accept all schools or organizations interested in recruiting at this event. As a result of the screening process, the administrators are an impressive group. Good schools attract both good administrators and good teachers.
The Queen's Fair is organized by educators for educators. The planning committee of 25 people consists of faculty, staff, education students, and alumni and all are committed to this event and to international education. As a mid-sized fair, it is large enough to offer a wide range of opportunities while avoiding the stress and problems associated with larger events.
As a non-profit educational institution, we charge low fees to candidates, essentially for cost-recovery purposes. Our mission is educational and professional, aimed at providing a valuable professional development component throughout the weekend.
Registration Fees
The registration fee is $100 (CDN) for the weekend, $50 if currently enrolled in the B.Ed. or M.Ed. program at Queen's (a limited number of places will be reserved for current Queen's B.Ed. students who are served by the Placement Office). There are no subsequent placement fees for candidates. The university — and the event itself — are non-profit and the registration fees are for cost recovery. Please see Registration Instructions (above), certified cheque or money order required.
