From polarizing debates like the Discovery vs. traditional ‘Math Wars’, to the influx of systems improvement philosophies and fallacies, to the fallout from tightening public budgets, to how we’re faring at getting technology into classrooms – there’s a lot of context that you need to know in order to navigate effectively within Canada’s education sector.
