Why Do these Kids Love School?

A la recherche d'écoles exemplaires

Cette vidéo est le complément de "L'école secondaire au Canada - Rapport national de l'étude sur les écoles exemplaires". Mené en collaboration avec l'Association canadienne d'éducation, le Ministère canadien du développement des ressources humaines et 10 universités, ce projet a permis de trouver, dans l'ensemble du Canada, des établissements secondaires dont on jugeait qu'ils avaient "réussi" et d'étudier les facteurs favorisant cette réussite. La vidéo montre pourquoi 7 des 21 écoles retenues sont des établissements modèles. Elèves, professeurs, administrateurs et parents parlent de ce qui rend leur école spéciale.
