About The Learning Partnership

have participated in The Learning Partnership’s programs. For more information on The Learning Partnership,

Message from the President and Chair
This past year The Learning Partnership has been focused on one theme: the future. So
when we reflect on last year, our eyes were firmly fixed on the future.
Our children are our future. Their future is dependent on us. This means it is up to us to
responsibly and collectively ensure that our publicly funded education system is designed
to be dynamic, relevant and ever evolving – with effective tools to prepare young people in
Canada to succeed in today’s global landscape. So what are those tools?
Akela Peoples,
President and CEO
In search of these tools, The Learning Partnership looked closely at the key issues that impact
our publicly funded education in Canada today. Through an intensive strategic planning
process we concluded that our activities need to focus on the following four priorities:
•
•
•
•
Teaching for 21st Century Skills
Embracing a global view
Responding to the changing labour market needs
Developing leadership skills for educators
Have a look at our many outstanding accomplishments in 2013-2014. You will quickly see
that what we have accomplished this year is well aligned with what we think is important to
the future success of Canada’s students. Our programs and investments for the coming year
will focus on our four priorities identified above.
Our message is simple: public education matters to all of us. The Learning Partnership is
about business collaborating with public education leaders and government to continually
enhance our public education system.
Kenneth J. Fredeen
General Counsel
Deloitte LLP
We hope you agree with us, that the four strategic priorities we have thoughtfully chosen
address the needs of students, educators and employers – and will make a positive
difference. We hope you enjoy reading our annual report and find it informative, and as
always, please let us know if you have ideas or comments. We would love to hear from you.

program showcase and

Karla Cabrera accompanied her father, the
Assistant Chief Engineer at The Fairmont
Waterfront Hotel in Vancouver, to work on
Take Our Kids to Work day in 2005. The day
left her wanting to be a Human Resources
professional, which she has since pursued
through a sociology degree at UBC and her
current HR diploma program at BCIT.
“Take Our Kids to Work opened my eyes
to the different options out there,” said
Karla. “I could have gone another route and
probably would have gotten a bachelor’s
degree and not know what to do with it. My
experience that day gave me focus. I am truly
thankful for that day in Grade 9.”

Leading the national conversation in
Early Learning
The Learning Partnership’s Early Years Family and Community
Engagement National Symposium, which took place on May
13 to 15, 2014, facilitated an important conversation about
the shared responsibility of early childhood learning and
development – family, educators and communities must all be
involved.
Developed as an extension of The Learning Partnership’s
Welcome to Kindergarten™ program, the Symposium gave
early learning experts, educators and policymakers from across
Canada the opportunity to share and learn from each other
about how to prepare pre-Kindergarten children for success.
Tune into VOCM, Newfoundland for
Turning Points, Live!
Fred Hutton, radio personality and news director on VOCM in St.
John’s participated for the first time as a Turning Points student
essay judge last April. He was so impressed by the quality of
the writing as well as the courage shown by the authors as
they recounted personal challenges, that he invited students of
winning essays to read their work and share their stories live on
his morning radio show.
Entrepreneurial Adventure Provides
Lasting Impact
Generating Confidence with
I3 – Investigate! Invent! Innovate!
Through the Entrepreneurial Adventure program, Grade 8
students Mavis, Amanda and their classmates left a lasting legacy
in their final year at St. Richard’s Catholic School in Scarborough,
Ontario.
Challenged with identifying an everyday problem and creating
an invention to solve it, former Grade 7 student from Tom Bains
School in Calgary, Alberta, Robin Kim, and four of her classmates
developed the Footstep Generator. The invention takes energy
created when a person steps onto a stair and transfers it into
electricity to power a small LED light – a principle the students
hope one day might even power a whole a house.
They developed and sold a student-friendly but dresscodeappropriate school clothing line, winning a BMO National
Student Innovation Award and donating all profits from their
$6,000 in sales to two of the school’s favourite charities.
That’s what they left behind, but thanks to this experience,
Mavis took with her a new appreciation for teamwork and
Amanda took with her a triumph over shyness. As for the whole
class, they walked away with a better understanding of algebra
because of the real-life application of figuring out the variables of
production.
The invention process and the I3 – Investigate! Invent! Innovate!
Invention Convention showcase, as well as the media attention
around her team’s prototype, taught Robin more than she
realized.
“I learned that you can gain a lot of confidence because you can
build anything you want, anywhere, anytime.”
Looking Ahead to 2014-15
• Take Our Kids to Work 20th anniversary
• I3 expanding to four additional provinces
• Entrepreneurial Adventure expanding to four
additional provinces
• Turning Points French expansion
• Launch of five Take Our Kids to Work online

As one of 2014’s Canada’s Outstanding
Principals, Leslie Lee (centre) from British
Columbia attended The Learning Partnership’s
five-day executive leadership development
program at the Rotman School of Management.
As “CEO” of George Jay Elementary School,
Leslie was able to network and share best
practices with colleagues from across Canada,
and learn management strategies from leading
professors and C-level business executives.
“The Learning Partnership recognition has
been an incredibly positive influence on the
reputation of the school and our work. It has
also helped with staff morale and acknowledges
the improvements in learning we have been
working on.”
Ivey School of Business Helps Re-Launch Directors Course
The Learning Partnership believes
investing in the continued leadership
and professional development of current
leaders in the public education system is
an effective way to strengthen the system.
This year, The Learning Partnership
announced a new partnership with Ivey
Business School for the fourth series of
our Directors of Education Institute on
Leadership and Strategic Impact.
The program is a leading edge executive
development course designed to develop
the knowledge, practical skills, strategies
and cross-sector networking required
for leaders in education to successfully
deliver excellence in our publicly funded
education system.
Committed to developing leaders in
education, we re-designed our course for
“CEOs” in education with Ivey’s highly
regarded and renowned “case study”
approach at the core. Case studies draw
from experiences from the business world,
the public sector and events in world
history. The newly designed program
covers, in three modules, themes of
Connecting Strategy and Leadership,
Connecting with Your People and
Connecting Action to Outcome.
A total of 22 school directors and
executive superintendents, including
representation from Ontario, British
Columbia and Atlantic Canada, attended
the executive leadership course that
began in May 2014, helping to strengthen
18 different school boards.

prepare students for the world of work.
The paper illustrates the various approaches
to developing the workforce preparedness of
students through Canadian public schools,
an area of challenge for public education. It
demonstrates the need for a more consistent
national approach to workforce preparation.
Students Tell The Learning Partnership What They Need from Public Education
The Learning Partnership’s It’s My Future!
initiative reached out to 1,563 Canadian
students through 15 regional youth
forums and an online survey across 13
provinces and territories in two official
languages, to ask students – as key
stakeholders – what’s working for them
in Canada’s public education system and
how can we improve.
The sessions asked students ranging from
Grade 12 to post-secondary levels where
they see opportunities to enhance their
education, how they feel it’s preparing
them for life after school and what
information they are missing in order to
make post-secondary choices.
While there were significant regional
differences in students’ opinions, several
key themes emerged which share a
common Pan-Canadian perspective
– all involving relevant, real-life matters.
Students want: experiential and outof-classroom learning opportunities;
applicable courses; individualization,
flexibility and choice; transition
information/support; financial support;
and the opportunity to have their voices
heard.

Outstanding Principals
In February 2014, James Politeski, President,
Samsung Canada (right) announced to the 350
Canada’s Outstanding Principals gala attendees
a substantial commitment to Canadian public
education, pledging $1 million in Solve for
Tomorrow school technology grants in 2014.
Samsung, The Learning Partnership’s official
Technology Innovation Partner, surprised the
award winners with the news that they would
be the first beneficiaries of the Samsung Solve
for Tomorrow program, each receiving a $20,000
technology grant for their school, which Samsung
will help them implement to most effectively
integrate technology into their classrooms.
“I want to thank Samsung for not just throwing
money at our school, or saying here’s a gift, but
for really sitting down with us,” said secondary
principal Rene Bibeau of Ottawa. “They’re going
to come to our school, they’re going to work with
us... to try and figure out what our needs are and
work as a team.”

Folio: Education
They’re no longer the disciplinarian or just the school manager. They can be a target when standardized
test results are low. As 40 of Canada’s best principals are honoured – including the five profiled here –
Caroline Alphonso and James Bradshaw look at their changing role
A matter of principal:

f the job of a principal conjures up visions of
Principal Seymour Skinner chasing Bart Simpson,
the reality couldn’t be further. Rather than the disciplinarians of the past, today’s principals have to
know and help every student, cope with parental
and political demands and ensure that their school
scores highly on standardized tests. It’s no wonder
the appeal of the job is declining.
“The research for the last 20 years is quite clear,
teachers are not attracted to the principalship,” says
Paul Newton, an associate professor at the University of Alberta who has researched the role of the
school leader. “Principals were always responsible
for ensuring efficient management of the school,
but, increasingly, the principal has become responsible for the academic achievement of students.
This is not an insignificant shift.”
Principal Lorraine Kinsman, head of Cranston
School, which she helped open four years ago in
Calgary, has experienced how complex the job can
be. She expected to run the school, set up timetables and monitor the day-to-day happenings.
Instead, she also has to contend with the involvement of parents, the community, the school board
and the province. “Instead of just knowing six
courses of study, I now need to know 575 children,
and all of the options that are available to them,”
she says.
Ms. Kinsman is among 40 principals honoured by
the Learning Partnership as Canada’s best in a role
that clearly has some exceptional leaders. But over
all, school boards are having a difficult time recruiting new people to the leadership ranks. Studies
show that school systems in Canada, Australia, New
Zealand and the United States are struggling to
recruit teachers to become principals, and research
suggests vacancies are expected to climb.
In Ontario, the number of educators receiving
their principal qualifications dropped from 1,056 in
2003 to 590 last year, according to data from the
Ontario College of Teachers. A spokesman for
Alberta Education says school superintendents
have indicated a greater challenge than in the past
in recruiting teachers to become principals.
In spite of those numbers, great principals can
make a huge difference in the lives of students and
their communities.
“I like helping people solve problems, whether it’s
a staff member or a student or a family,” says JohnPaul Elliott, the principal at St. Joseph Catholic
School in Gananoque, Ont. “And then when you
finally see some success, you know, … you finally
see somebody moving forward, it’s very motivating.”
To become a principal in Ontario, an educator
needs at least five years of teaching experience, although most have more, as well as certification that
includes the principal’s qualification program.
Lately, the role has become more political. Although test scores are not used to penalize a principal, leaders whose schools don’t fare well are still
scrutinized and questioned by parents and politicians.
“The increased hours, responsibility and public
scrutiny are not compensated for by minimal salary
increases,” says Prof. Newton, who is about to publish a paper on this topic. “Most teachers would
prefer to remain in teaching roles than transition
into administrative positions.” He added that this is
particularly acute in remote parts of Canada that
have long faced a shortage of school administrators.
In Alberta, the average salary for a teacher with 10
years’ experience is about $92,000; and at the top
end of the scale, teachers could earn as much as
$99,000. A principal at the top end of the scale in
Alberta would earn about $99,000, with an “allowance” of between $20,000 and $45,000. Principals
in Ontario are on the province’s annual sunshine
list, earning more than $100,000 annually. Teachers
at the top end of the scale earn more than $90,000.
Prof. Newton argues that while principals have
always been responsible for the management of
school, lately they’ve taken on an additional task of
student achievement. When organizations like the
Fraser Institute rank schools based on test scores,
provincial governments see principals as key agents
in educational improvement efforts and, as Prof.
Newton says, “an easy target” when a school is not
faring well. The research, however, “is less than
conclusive with respect to the impact that principals have on student learning,” he adds.
But Andrea McAuley, who is in her fourth year as
principal at R.H. Cornish Public School in Port Perry, Ont., and among this year’s winners, says
“changing the trajectory of outcomes” for students
is what keeps her energized. “The role of principal
enables us to keep one hand front-line for our students, so we see the individual faces and can support in individual conversations with kids, but also
have a wider connection to systemic change,” she
says.
John Hamilton, president-elect at the Ontario
Principals’ Council and a principal for the last 10
years, says not only are principals taking on the responsibility of student achievement, they also see
an increasing number of students coming to them
for help with mental-health issues. Mr. Hamilton,
the principal at Sunderland Public School in Brock,
Ont., says he and his colleagues spend a lot of their
time helping children with emotional needs.
“You’re trying to manage a global landscape in an
educational setting,” he says. “None of the issues
that we are expected to deal with are bad things,
they are good things. But what is our role? It
becomes difficult to define it when you’re being
pulled in a lot of different directions.”

Lorraine Kinsman
Cranston School
Calgary
As far as Catholic education is concerned,
the school where John-Paul Elliott has
spent all six of his years as a principal is
the only game in town in Gananoque. It is
part of a community he calls beautiful,
cultured, close-knit and supportive, but
also one that has its share of challenges
born out of unemployment and demographics. To succeed in his job, he has to
be flexible and adaptable, or as he puts it,
“you need to have all your skills.”
He gets the students he shepherds, who
come from a variety of family backgrounds and with different abilities,
involved in fundraising efforts for the
school. And he has set up initiatives that
are pushing the school past the underachieving label it once bore, including an
intensive French program for Grade 5 students and his district’s pioneering full-day
His mantra is to keep things simple. He
looks to signals from Ontario’s education
ministry and his local school board to
gauge where educational priorities are
shifting. But that big picture is sometimes
subsumed by “the very specific needs that
are right there at your door.”
Staff and parents look to him to be the
decision-maker, but in six years as principal he has learned to work closely with
staff to make changes. “That’s something
that you might know in your head, but
knowing it in practice is a different thing
altogether. Being in charge isn’t being the
boss, it’s about collaboration, it’s about listening,” he says.
Nothing stands still at Ms. Kinsman’s
school, whether she likes it or not. For the
last four years, she has been the inaugural
principal at Cranston School, a brand new
institution she took over when it was still
under construction, and where she helped
choose everything from the furniture to
the philosophy, which focuses on creativity and world issues like the environment.
The chance to start a kindergarten to
Grade 4 school from the ground level is
“the opportunity of a lifetime,” she says.
The school opened with 300 students and
will reach its maximum of 620 this fall,
“bursting at the seams” – some families in
the community have even had to be
turned away.
“For the last two years, I’ve added five or
six classrooms every single year, five or six
teachers, changed the complexity of the
school,” she says.
Growth is the big story at many Calgary
schools, where the youth population is rising fast, and that puts pressure on schools
at a time when new ways of learning
brought about in part by technology, and
when learning to sort and use information, are becoming paramount skills.
That is forcing “huge changes,” Ms. Kinsman says, “because we’re educating children for a world that none of us can really
script.”

James Bradshaw
What has been a major change in
education just in my time as an
I would love to see more support staff
in the schools. And I’ll leave it at that
– trained support staff, supporting
kids with autism, mental health
issues, those sorts of things. There are
itinerants that come back and forth,
that are in your school one day, not
the next. I would like to see more
consistent support for those students.
Staff want it, parents want it,
students need it.
It’s an unknown future, but we know
that if you have literacy skills and
numeracy skills and communication
skills, you can go most anywhere. The
biggest change is a social change to
talk to parents who say, ‘But it wasn’t
like that when I went to school,’ and
it wasn’t. ... To get to the point where
society can accept some of those
changes more willingly.
