In this first episode of Season IV of The Teacher's Forum, David sits down with Jason Bradshaw, an award-winning science educator from Ontario and recipient of Canada's Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence, for an engaging conversation about Canada's education system.
Together they explore why Canada's education system consistently ranks among the world's best, what challenges it still faces, and what educators around the world can learn from its successes and shortcomings. Along the way, they discuss teacher professionalism, educational equity, standardized testing, artificial intelligence, and the future of public education in an increasingly interconnected world.
Whether you're a teacher, school leader, policymaker, parent, or simply interested in education, this conversation offers thoughtful insights into how one of the world's highest-performing education systems prepares students—and what every country can learn from the comparison.
