While the teaching profession adapts to demographic shifts in the student population, it is also experiencing changes from within. Using data from the Labour Force Survey, this article profiles university and college professors and elementary and secondary teachers from 1999 to 2005. Elementary and secondary school teachers remain the larger group, but university professors are the fastest growing one. Teachers and professors are older than the average worker. They also work longer hours during the school year.

This article draws on the Survey of Principals (SOP) which was conducted by Statistics Canada during the 2004-2005 school year. It provides an overview of the characteristics of school principals in Canada, their perceptions of the match between the actual and the ideal level of responsibility they have for various tasks, their job satisfaction, and their perceptions of the extent to which the proper functioning of their schools is affected by problems within the school.
The SOP is part of a research project sponsored by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). It was developed in partnership with a team of researchers from the Faculties of Education at the Université de Montréal, University of Toronto, Simon Fraser University and Université de Sherbrooke.

Release date: 2001-09-07 - Articles and reports: 81-003-X19970033624Geography: CanadaDescription:
The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) was conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) in 1995. The largest and most ambitious study ever conducted under the auspices of IEA, TIMSS compared the teaching and learning of mathematics with the teaching and learning of science at the elementary and secondary school levels. Its aim was to inform educators around the world about exemplary instructional practices and student outcomes in mathematics and science.
Release date: 1998-03-04 - Articles and reports: 81-003-X19970013091Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article attempts to determine how the future retirement of elementary and secondary school teachers will affect the hiring of new teachers, given the aging of the teaching force. Using socio-demographic analysis, future requirements for new teachers are determined according to three scenarios regarding retirement age, namely, retirement at age 55, 60 or 65, assuming that the pupil-teacher ratio will remain constant. At present, budget cuts are forcing some educational institutions to reduce their teaching staff, but in a few years, when teachers currently on staff retire, the situation could improve. What, then, will be the hiring prospects in the field of education in the future? This analysis is based on data from the October 1995 Labour Force Survey. It also focuses on the situation facing managers in the education sector, for they will have to decide how to handle the demand for teachers. In addition, the findings may assist young people in choosing their careers.
Release date: 1997-05-30 - 10. Labour market dynamics in the teaching profession ArchivedArticles and reports: 81-003-X19960043223Geography: CanadaDescription:
Unpredictability" and "transformation" are words often used to describe the contemporary labour market. Debate continues about the implications of the disruption of stable career and work patterns which were assumed to have been the norm in the Canadian workplace. Teaching, because it is the largest profession in Canada, is a useful venue for examining these labour market dynamics, especially transitions into and out of the profession. These entry and exit transitions, which are the central theme of this paper, are also of interest in a profession like teaching where university graduates have traditionally enjoyed a tight link to an established labour market.
