Policy Forum on Classroom Complexity
April 17, 2025
8:30 AM to 2:00 PM
#600-9990 Jasper Ave., Edmonton
(The World Trade Centre Building)
 

On April 17, IPAC Alberta is excited to partner with the United Way of Alberta Capital Region in hosting an in-person policy forum on the topic of supporting student success.

​

Finishing high school leads to better health, social, and economic outcomes - and these outcomes improve the longer a person stays in school after Grade 12. It is critical to find ways of keeping everyone at the table until graduation, especially those with the most to gain. While the mission to reach all students was never easy or simple, trends in recent years have brought school systems across Canada to a crisis point. The need to find effective and sustainable ways of supporting every student to cross the goal line have never been greater. New ideas and innovation are essential for success.

​

The forum will include presentations, networking opportunities and facilitated discussions. Presentations are as follows:

• Dr. Richard Lewanchzuk on designing systems to work better for complex populations

• Speakers from REACH Edmonton and All in for Youth on made-in-Alberta approaches that improve outcomes for youth

• A presentation about how to support teachers to thrive in a context of complexity.

​

Refreshments and lunch are included.

​

Registration is free. Please complete this brief online form to register.
