The pandemic has had a devastating effect on lives and jobs everywhere including and maybe most acutely in education. Students quite unexpectedly were told initially to relax, there would be no final year-end exams, then told they had to attend remote classes given by teachers who were completely unprepared and untrained to teach in this setting. Educators scrambled to connect and to do their very best in a stress-filled context. LEARN was called upon in countless ways to provide resources for the community and in concert with the Ministry of Education. In addition, we worked with community organizations to support parents at home with the children by providing activities and projects that would not only keep children busy but have a real educational value. Our Virtual Campus teachers continued to teach to those students who wished to continue their courses even though they could opt out, and the demand for our online tutorial program figuratively went through the roof. By the end of the year, we had approximately 14,000 tutorial sessions with students from every corner of the province availing themselves of our services. During this past summer we had record numbers attend our summer school which was organized in concert with school boards. This highlighted the fact that when it came time for everyone to come together and make a concerted effort, we succeeded. Our team has much to be proud of as they worked harder than ever to provide these services and resources, but the 2020-21 school year is likely to be as difficult and challenging as the last 5 months of 2019-20. Collectively and with determination, we will prevail. Ça va bien aller. Michael J. Canuel, Ed.D. CEO, LEARN LEARN ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 7 Message from chair This past year has been a year where everyone in education has been challenged as we all had to deal with the COVID 19 pandemic. As Chair of LEARN and Director General of CQSB, I have seen how everyone quickly mobilized, adapted and adjusted to new realities and challenges. I am especially pleased how LEARN has become an essential part of our educational community in English Quebec, and how through collaborative efforts with the public and private school networks as well as the Ministry of Education, LEARN was able to provide a wide array of resources and services. LEARN’s role in supporting teachers transitioning to the online environment was successful as more than 1000 teachers from across the province participated in their training sessions. In the coming year, LEARN will be solicited to continue its work and I am confident they will continue to be our community’s go-to partner as we make our way through these unchartered waters. I wish to thank the LEARN staff for its good work and wish them continued success. Stephen Pigeon 8 LEARN ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 LEARN IS A RECOGNIZED LEADER IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION.

  • Strategic Plan 2015 2020.Pdf
    t is with honour and pride that I present to you, the members of our community, the Lester B. Pearson School Board 2015-2020 IStrategic Plan. This plan is the result of the extraordinary efforts of a dedicated, experienced group of administrators from our schools, centers and head office, with valuable input garnered from our consultative partners. All involved were clearly focused on providing a well-rounded framework that ensures the success of our students. The three main directions within recognize the evolving environment within our schools and centers - student-led learning using the tools and technologies that will be necessary for their future, in a safe and caring space. It allows for diversity in learning styles as well as teaching styles. The plan also recognizes that mental and physical well-being are essential factors in learning. Lester B. Pearson School Board continues to lead in recognizing students’ needs for today and tomorrow. This Strategic Plan allows all staff to focus on the next five years, to plan for and build an infrastructure that supports the needs of both students and teachers and to guide the students to achieving their goals, not the least of which, as the title of this plan suggests, is life-long learning. Each of the three directions in the plan has well-articulated objectives with measurable results. The bar has been set high, but we have no doubt that as has been the case in past, we will achieve these results. On behalf of the Council of Commissioners I would like to thank Mr. Thomas Rhymes for leading the effort to create this plan and the many staff members who contributed to it.

    > c g C/l ^ rn H C 1 ^ H 3 C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S A N D HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY ECS This year marks the eightieth consecutive year that Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp's School has offered a scholarly education to young women in Montreal. In these changing times it is important for our School Community to be reminded of the stability which institutions such as ECS give to our city. To celebrate this great achievement Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp's School had a three day 80th Birthday Party during the first weekend in November 1989 culminating in the official opening of the new 12,000 square-foot building extension. The annual Founders' Day service took place on Thursday, November 2. Mrs. Jean Stavert Welsford, Class of 1914 and present when the original school opened in 1909, came to give the students a real sense of tradition and continuity. The audience heard the finalists in the Old Girls' Public Speaking Contest and Miss Maysie MacSporran, Class of 1922, Teacher from 1933-39, and Headmistress from 1940-61, was guest speaker. On Friday afternoon the gymnasium was transformed into a garden, complete with rose arbour, for the Time-Warp bazaar organized by Grade Ten and tea was served to parents, company members, hoard members, old girls, past parents and friends of the School. Members of the Junior and Senior Choirs and the School Band performed for the guests. There was a Fashion Show which featured costumes from eight decades.
