THREE RACIALIZED REPRESENTATIONS OF IMMIGRANT TEACHERS DURING THEIR PROFESSIONAL INTEGRATION
More and more immigrant teachers have found their place in Canadian elementary and secondary schools, notably in francophone Ontario. Some face difficulties to integrate the profession, while those who have been offered a long-term teaching contract deploy considerable efforts to transform this opportunity into a permanent position. Drawing from the results of two qualitative studies conducted with immigrant students enrolled in a teacher training program and immigrant teachers during their professional integration, this article will present the racialized representations of the victim, the foreigner, and the incompetent to which they are subjected. Explanations of and solutions to this phenomenon will also be discussed.
