Subject: retraining course


The retraining course is a complete waste of time, effort and is impossible 
to register for and complete because the hours, times and duration make life 
impossible particularly for those of us who work. As for the allegations or 
confusion with other retraining course world wide I can only speak about the 
Canadian experience.  There are no lengthy retraining courses there. If you 
have a valid teaching license and a university education degree from a 
recognised university then you may be required to take a course on Canadian 
teaching methodology, history of Canadian education, and become familiar 
with the course material and English literature. There are no additional 
courses on subjects you won't be teaching. The reason the ministry makes 
these stupid demands is because Israeli born students in theory learn these 
additional subjects in school. You can btw get exemptions from some of the 
courses but then they tack on additional requirements.
My assessment is that this sheer nonesense. The whole process of recognising 
teacher certification for new olim is illogical and disrespectful to 
qualified teachers. Our licenses should be automatic and retroactive if we 
have the qualifications.
