EMPOWERING TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS TO PLAY THEIR KEY ROLE IN IMPROVING EDUCATION A Keynote address delivered at the North Eastern Ontario Education Network 2011 Research Carousel

Abstract

Good afternoon and thank you Kelly for that kind introduction. I was in Toronto recently at a meeting of the Learning to 18 ministry work-group and was given a copy of the latest Capacity Building Series publication entitled Collaborative Teacher Inquiry. It is pretty exciting stuff to see the Government of Ontario throw its weight behind collaborative teacher inquiry as a means of professional learning and school improvement.
