researchED Atlantic Canada 2025 - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Our upcoming researchED Canada conference, Better Together, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, will build upon the amazing success of researchED Toronto 2025 and shine new light on the potential for the “science of learning” to improve teaching and learning in mathematics, reading and writing.

Inspired by the researchED UK movement, our focus in October 2025 will be on applying evidence-based research in responding to the needs and aspirations of all students in Atlantic Canada and far beyond. Join us to experience the amazing energy and ideas generated by our fast-growing network of teachers, researchers and policy-makers in Canada.
