We work in two main areas: providing research and evidence about public education; and engaging in dialogue, both within and outside the education sector, about the purpose, value, and future of public education.
We provide research and evidence to support an ongoing dialogue about the value, purpose, and future of public education.
Featured projects:
Annual Ontario school survey
Every year, over 1200 schools across Ontario participate in our Annual Ontario School Survey. The survey tracks essential resources and programs in Ontario’s schools, and helps us to identify areas for improvement.
Competencies beyond the 3Rs
For the past few years, 鶹AV has been advocating for a broader set of competencies to be integrated into Ontario’s curriculum, in order to provide students with the skills they need to thrive in a time of profound economic, social, and technological transformation.
鶹AV brings thoughtful analysis, in-depth understanding, and courageous integrity to the table, inspired by dedication to the value of public education, and motivated by doing the best for our children and families.
- Sheldon Levy, President Emeritus Ryerson University
We bring together experts and stakeholders to tackle big challenges in public education. By working together, learning from each other, and sharing our knowledge, we develop policy-ready solutions that lay the groundwork for real change.
