About Us

A leading research and action centre to influence educational transformation in Canada.

The Canadian Education Association (CEA) is a cross-Canada network with a strong membership base of leaders in the education, research and policy, not for profit and business sectors.  We are committed to education that leads to greater student engagement; teaching that inspires students and teachers and that causes all students to learn; and schools that ensure both equity and excellence in pursuit of the optimal development of all students.

Newer ideas about teaching and learning can lead to innovations that get us much closer to our aspirations of transforming education. Dynamic and engaging learning environments are emerging in schools in many places so that the constraints imposed by certain policies and historical practices become ever more apparent. 

CEA conducts research, finds and generates useful ideas and spreads them through meetings, workshops, symposia and the web. As a non-partisan charitable organization, we want you to join this movement.  With your help, CEA can encourage the fundamental shifts required to meet the developmental needs of all learners in our global and changing society. 

CEA is cultivating a national voice for change with a research-based transformation agenda.  Our Programs & Initiatives are influencing decision-makers across the country to think differently about how we provide public education.
