About the Centre
National Investigators Launch the Canadian Research Centre on Inclusive Education
The Centre for Inclusive Education is evolving, and has become the national headquarters of the Canadian Research Centre on Inclusive Education; connections have been established with a strong group of renowned researchers in inclusive education at universities all across Canada. Although many Canadian scholars are involved in research that is directly related to inclusion, there is no national voice for research in this area at the present time. By researching and disseminating our findings across Canada and around the world, collectively we aim to empower teachers and others with the knowledge they need to be effective with all students, including those with exceptional needs.
Please visit the new National Investigators page for more information on our Team Leaders at universities across the country.
