The Learner-Centred Classroom and The Learner-Centred High School

Sponsored by IDC, MEQ and Télé-Québec, these video series were partly funded by the Minstère de l'Éducation and with contributions from the Canada-Québec Agreement for Minority Education and Second Language Instruction .

Purpose of the Videos

These two video series are intended to help secondary school communities explore issues in theory and practice surrounding the implementation of the Québec Education Program.

The goal is to:

• spark discussion
• develop understanding of concepts
• share practical approaches, which are consistent with the philosophy of the Québec Education Program (QEP)

We hope that the Facilitator's Guides (Adobe PDF) will assist you both in making an effective presentation as well as moving your school community forward in planning for effective implementation of the Québec Education Program.

How to Use the Guides

The two guides and the two video series are designed so you may create a presentation tailored to your needs. The videos are packaged in 4 separate tapes so that the format of the presentation can be altered depending on the audience, the purpose of the presentation, and the length of time you have available. The fourth tape consists of the classroom shots contained in the first three tapes. These have been isolated for the convenience of the user who wishes to focus on practical demonstration only. Finally a fifth tape containing the three parts in chronological sequence along with the classroom vignettes, is also available.
