We will actively promote the need for, and where possible lend support to, programs that provide optimal learning conditions for Canadian students.

To do this, the Centre will work in two key areas:

• Funding research into the conditions that need to exist for our children to learn best and for our teachers to teach best; and
• Delivering programs directly into the schools that address the research findings.

We will look to the community-at-large for funding in order to accomplish our goal of equal access to high quality education and opportunities for all Canadians, as they learn through the auspices of the publicly-funded education system in our country.

Our overall approach to this ambitious yet necessary undertaking is to find and allocate resources to complement public funding for education, not replace it.

In order to do this, we will seek out mutually beneficial relationships with external partners that build on the strengths of the publicly-funded education system and that are rooted in sound educational principles, goals and objectives.

We will use our unique access to educational systems to ensure that programs are delivered effectively and efficiently.
