My presentation - The New Brunswick CANADA Story - 3 steps to successful change
Where is New Brunswick Canada?
New Brunswick Families are Key. 1950 s - Parents Mobilized 1986 Bill 85 1991, 1997, 2004 public reviews 2009 Opposition Party Platform 2010-2014 Policy and Practice 2015, new education plan
Wide variation in practice CURRENT RANGE OF PRACTICE Desirable Range of Practice It needs to be narrowed so that practices are BEST, EFFECTIVE & INCLUSIVE
Catalyst for Change Political will. Teachers need help. Families demand better.
