The LCEEQ Conference unites over six hundred educators and showcases the talents in schools across the province. It provides a unique opportunity for networking and for the sharing of innovative and successful practices. Leading this initiative is a dedicated group of educators from the Leadership Committee for English Education in Quebec (LCEEQ) representing all levels of English education in the province.
The theme of Student Engagement challenges us to keep the needs and interests of the students at the heart of the teaching/learning process. We acknowledge that there are many ways to help students of all ages learn to take control of and responsibility for their learning. We have encouraged our presenters to address student engagement in a variety of ways. It goes without saying that in the 21st Century technology in the classroom is a critical piece of the theme and so there is a thread of technology that weaves its way through the programme.
Our hope is that LCEEQ Conference 2011 will serve as a source of inspiration and a catalyst to the next step in our quest to provide meaningful learning experiences for our students.

Keynote Speakers
December 31st, 1969
Martha Kaufeldt began her teaching career in 1977. She taught a variety of grades at the elementary level, and language arts programs in middle and high school. She began her research of brain-compatible teaching and learning strategies while working with several school districts to develop gifted, talented, and extended-learning programs. With a Master's Degree in Human Behavior, she believes that teachers should know how the brain learns and remembers. She is passionate about teaching the way kids' brains learn naturally - through discovery, play, engagement, music, movement and novelty. Martha continues to keep up-to-date on recent neuroscience research and incorporates new knowledge into her teaching practices and workshops. She considers herself a "brain research interpreter for educators."

Adora Svitak

Thirteen-year-old Adora Svitak has been called a “tiny literary giant” by Diane Sawyer, and with good reason; a prolific author, she’s written over 400 short stories and published two books, Flying Fingers (a short story collection) and Dancing Fingers (a poetry collection she co-authored with her sister, Adrianna). Her titles include not only published author but also advocate, activist, and the world’s youngest teacher. Her love for learning and teaching is evident; she explores new technologies and advocates for education innovation around the world through her award-winning video conferences. In recognition of Adora's outstanding work for public education, the NEA, or National Education Association, awarded her its highest honor—the NEA Foundation Award for Outstanding Service to Public Education.
To raise awareness and get kids and adults involved in issues like world hunger, literacy, and youth voice, Adora has delivered more than 400 presentations and speeches around the world. Her TEDTalk, titled "What Adults Can Learn From Kids," was widely watched and discussed. She was also one of the first in the United States to organize an all youth TEDx (independently organized TED event), TEDxRedmond, with her fellow student leaders.
