Au-delà des caractéristiques indispensables aux exigences de la profession enseignante, les recruteurs ont spécialement mentionné l’adaptabilité à vivre et à travailler à l’étranger, la sensibilité culturelle et la flexibilité pédagogique. En outre, les recruteurs ont parlé du rôle important que joue la capacité de se ‘conformer’ entre l’enseignant et l’école (et, la communauté scolaire) . En effet, cette capacité se dédouble de l’adaptabilité, de la sensibilité culturelle et de la flexibilité pédagogique, mais aussi introduit des facteurs scolaires plus spécifiques, notamment les facteurs personnels contribuant à la conformité. Les implications pour la formation enseignante, particulièrement dans le domaine de la flexibilité pédagogique, sont abordées.  \nMots-clés : internationaliser la formation enseignante, écoles internationales, enseignants des écoles internationales, formation enseignante, éducation internationale, compétences globales, compétences globales pour enseignants  \nAcknowledgement  \nThe research study reported on in this article was supported by a Faculty Research Development Fund grant from the Faculty of Education, Western University.  \nCanadian Journal of Education / Revue canadienne de l’éducation 41:3 (2018) [www.cje-rce.ca](www.cje-rce.ca)  \nIntroduction  \nCanadian teachers are increasingly (out) in the world, whether joining the growing ranks of teachers going abroad or finding assignments in Canadian classrooms, where “the world” also has significant presence. Expanding global teacher labour markets, heightened student mobilities, transnational curricula, and intensifying global cultural flows areplacing new demands on Canadian schools, teachers, and teacher education programs. One response to these demands is the heightened attention to, and programmatic initiatives for, internationalizing teacher education (ITE) . In the emergent ITE literature, there are multiple foci, such as “international placements” and “culturally relevant pedagogy.”This article explores the international schools sect","cbCaic24ZA7yuimX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic24ZA7yuimX","pdf",219661,"English","# Introduction\n## International teacher education and global demands\n## International schools as an employment context\n## Study focus and research rationale","[{\"question\":\"What teacher qualities do international school recruiters prioritize?\",\"answer\":\"Recruiters highlight adaptability to work and live in a foreign setting, cultural sensitivity, and pedagogical flexibility as especially important.\"},{\"question\":\"How does “fit” influence hiring decisions?\",\"answer\":\"Recruiters describe “fit” between the teacher, the school, and the school community as a hiring factor.
