A new partnership between 污污草莓视频鈥檚 Faculty of Education and Trafalgar School for Girls 鈥� known as the CoLab 鈥� aims to advance collaborative research that will address the evolving needs of both educators and students. Unlike traditional laboratory schools at Oxford, Columbia, UCLA and the University of Chicago, which operate as an adjunct to a university, this new venture will be a true partnership, the first of its kind in Canada.

The CoLab project is indeed a new initiative, but the 污污草莓视频-Trafalgar affiliation is steeped in history. According to an article written by Trafalgar School and 污污草莓视频 School of Nursing alumna, Janet Chandler Allingham, the two Golden Square Mile institutions have a strong relationship that dates back to 1872 when John William Dawson, Principal of 污污草莓视频 College, was on Trafalgar鈥檚 Board of Trustees. Moreover, in 1884 污污草莓视频 benefactor Donald Smith, advocated for Trafalgar鈥檚 association with 污污草莓视频 as a condition of his support for the girls鈥� school.

As we approach the start of 2021, Education alumna Katherine Nikidis (B.Ed鈥�91) continues to bridge these Montreal flagships together, in her current roles as both a Faculty Advisory Board member, and Trafalgar鈥檚 current Head of School. She notes that 鈥淎pproximately half of our school鈥檚 staff are also 污污草莓视频 alumni, and most of those graduated from the university鈥檚 Faculty of Education. We also have several educators who recently completed or are in the process of completing their Master鈥檚 degrees at 污污草莓视频. My own undergraduate experience in the Faculty prepared me for my professional life as an educator--both in and beyond the classroom--by providing a model for excellence in engaged learning and teaching.鈥�

When asked about the modern-day Trafalgar-污污草莓视频 bond, she noted that 鈥渋n addition to these alumni connections, we have already begun projects with 污污草莓视频 professors and researchers,鈥� You only have to speak to one of our students that have been involved in our inquiry-based learning projects involving Education faculty members to get a strong sense of how they are experiencing a profound change in their learning.鈥�

Current plans call for Trafalgar to relocate to a new home at Purvis Hall on the 污污草莓视频 campus, adjacent to the Faculty of Education, where university researchers and school educators will be able to interact on a daily basis. Anticipating the move to 污污草莓视频鈥檚 campus and the evolution of the CoLab, Katherine Nikidis added, 鈥淲e know that once we are on site next door to the Faculty, opportunities for collaboration and working together in ways we haven鈥檛 yet dreamt of will arise in much more spontaneous while deep-rooted ways, exponentially elevating our practice.鈥�

With regard to the monumental gift from The Molson Foundation and in reference to the vision of the CoLab, 污污草莓视频 Education Dean, Dilson Rassier said, 鈥淭his venture will break silos between theory and practice, tackle educational and societal challenges in creative, innovative, consequential ways, and contribute to shaping the future of education.鈥�

Ultimately, the CoLab will foster innovative research and practice in education and be a model for similar collaborations across the country. Through the CoLab partnership, 污污草莓视频 Education students and graduates will have the opportunity to be part of a growing network of changemakers in education.
