The EdCan Network has maintained its 130+ year tradition as the only national, nonpartisan, bilingual organization representing 140,000 educators across Canada. Our role as an intermediary strives to bridge the research-implementation gap for Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12) education systems across the country by producing and disseminating authoritative and evidence-based, yet accessible content that is trusted by educators, parents, and policymakers alike. EdCan’s signature initiative, Well at Work (WAW), supports education leaders to develop and implement system-wide strategies to improve K-12 workplace wellbeing for the long term – all while mobilizing a network of passionate educators, researchers, practitioners, and stakeholder groups.
