BIIDAABAN KINOOMAAGEGAMIK
Is seeking Junior Intermediate TEACHERS

Overview
Biidaaban Kinoomaagegamik is a school unlike any other. Situated near the beautiful North Channel of Lake Huron only fifteen minutes away from Massey, Ontario, Biidaaban is easily commutable from Espanola, Sudbury, or Elliot Lake. Our faculty identify the flexibility to build and run land-based, outdoor-oriented programs as their number-one reason for choosing Biidaaban - with a huge campus and sports field, access to trails, and a short bus ride to a community-owned camp, Biidaaban teachers build the sort of classroom experiences that few others could dream of. And with Nishnaabemwin language experiences growing every year, teachers who join now (at any fluency level or with willingness to learn!) will be a part of one of the most inspiring community-led language revitalization programs in history.

Biidaaban Teachers are afforded a very high level of professional autonomy and receive significant educational assistant support. With a salary and benefits comparable to provincial colleagues, full participation in the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, a generous health expense account, and opportunities for paid professional development, Biidaaban is truly a great place for new and experienced teachers alike to define their careers and teach in the ways they'd always hoped that they could.
