East meets West

Our friends at Atlantic Institute for Market Studies are hosting Putting Our Students First: Fixing Our Schools public education forum on March 28th in Halifax, NS.  The evening will feature Michael Zwaagstra, author of Fixing Our Schools and Frontier Centre Fellow, who spoke at our AGM in December.  Yours truly will be travelling to Halifax to be a panelist at the event.  Halifax area readers who are interested in attending can find out more information here and can register online at the AIMS website here.  The event is co-sponsored by the Schoolhouse Institute with the co-operation of the Frontier Centre.  Cudos to Paul Bennett (aka Educhatter) and Charles Cirtwill at AIMS for all their work organizing this.

AIMS has also teamed up with our Winnipeg colleagues at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy to provide a look at how Western Canada high schools are doing with the soon to be released Report Card, Behind the Classroom Door.  The interim Report Card for individual high schools can be found here.
