Recognizing excellence in Canadian education research.
CEA stimulates the need for transformative change in Canada's public education system through its comprehensive awards program. CEA celebrates the work of innovative researchers as well as school and classroom practitioners from across the country - their contributions, their promise, and their commitment to breaking new ground and revisiting commonly held assumptions in education policy, practice or theory in Canada.
The Whitworth Award
The Whitworth Award for Education Research was first presented in 1967, and was made possible through a generous financial donation by Dr. Fred Whitworth, a former Director of the Canadian Council for Research in Education. It has, since then, recognized individuals who have made a sustained and substantial contribution to educational research over a period of time.
