Community Education and Development : Perspectives on Employment, Employability and Development of English-Speaking Black Minority of Quebec - Bayne, Clarence S (2019)
On December 7, 2018, the Black Community Forum of Montreal held a conference on “Community Education and Development: perspectives on English-Speaking Blacks and Other Minorities”. The IJCDMS Journal has selected a number of the conference papers for publication in its Special Conference Series: “Collaborative Unity and Existential Responsibility.” This article serves as an overview to the conference; and provides a theoretical framework against which the reader can derive a better understanding of those papers. It allows the reader to reflect meaningfully on the optimality of the decision search rules adopted by various cultural subgroups, by comparing them to the behaviors of successful agent types in the computer simulated studies discussed in this paper. The targeted cultural sub-populations are the English-Speaking Blacks in Montreal.

Le forum a été organisé par la Table d’éducation interordres, un comité du QUESCREN de l’Université Concordia. L’objectif du forum consistait à encourager la mobilisation en vue d’élaborer, pour les communautés d’expression anglaise au Québec, une offre éducative sensée et viable allant du niveau préscolaire aux études universitaires et favorisant la persévérance scolaire, l’accès à de bons emplois au Québec et un fort sentiment d’identité et d’appartenance."

An Independent Report of the History Experts Committee On the Provincial History of Québec and Canada Program and Approved English Textbooks - Commission scolaire English-Montreal / English Montreal School Board (2018)
In September 2017, the Ministry of Education implemented a revised Secondary III and IV compulsory History of Québec and Canada program. This program raised a number of issues that became of concern to the English Montreal School Board (EMSB). Given these concerns, the EMSB commissioned an independent History Experts Committee to review the content of this program as well as the Ministry-approved English-language textbooks. The following is a summary of the findings of this Committee

Secondary School Exchanges : A Promising Way of Fostering Bilingualism in the Next Generation - Lai, Edward; Orme, Charlie; Fleming, Scott (Y4Y Québec, 2018)
In Quebec, it is a basic fact that a solid grasp of the French language is essential to finding work, participating fully in the political process, and integrating into society. While statistics show that bilingualism is very common among the Englishspeaking minority, and especially so among youth, problems nonetheless arise. Young English-speakers frequently report that they do not feel confident enough in their ability to speak French, while others remark that their written French is not strong enough to land a job. Inadequate knowledge of French is a contributing factor to the higher unemployment rates experienced by young English- speakers. A lack of work, and a hampered ability to take part in public life in general, lead to the disenfranchisement of members of this community. Given the high demand among young English- speakers for more French-language training, policy makers must come up with new and creative ways of meeting the demand.

Décrochage scolaire au Québec : dix ans de surplace, malgré les efforts de financement - Institut du Québec; Le Conference Board du Canada; HEC Montréal (2018)
La plupart des tests internationaux indiquent que le système éducatif québécois se compare favorablement aux provinces canadiennes et aux pays de l’OCDE. Compte tenu du retard de scolarisation du Québec dans les années 1960, il faut saluer ces succès indéniables. Toutefois, malgré les progrès importants réalisés depuis les réformes découlant du Rapport Parent, un problème majeur persiste : le taux de diplomation dans les écoles publiques québécoises est encore très faible, et surtout il stagne depuis plusieurs années.

CLC Extended Model : Learnings & Next Steps from the First 4 Years - Estuaries Learning Consulting Group (Leading English Education and Resource Network (LEARN), 2018)
From January to March of 2018, LEARN undertook an evaluation of the CLC extended model that looked to answer two key questions: 1) Has the CLC extended model been a success, and; 2) What best practices can schools and school boards adopt to effectively introduce the CLC extended model? In asking these questions, LEARN was looking to support two specific types of stakeholders: 1) Schools and school boards wanting to understand the benefits and outcomes of the extended model; and, 2) Schools and school boards wanting a deeper understanding of how to extend effectively. The majority of school boards currently have CLCs that have been extended models for a short duration. The data presented here reflects this, as it responds to question two more fully. It will be useful to do a further evaluation in a few years’ time to gather more precise data on the success of the model, once schools have engaged with it for a longer period.

À l’échelle mondiale, la recherche rend compte du faible rendement scolaire des élèves de culture autochtone, mais aussi d’une tendance progressive à améliorer cette situation. La Commission de vérité et de réconciliation (CVR) du gouvernement canadien a donné l’impulsion nécessaire pour que les provinces examinent leurs pratiques, et la Commission de l’éducation en langue anglaise (CELA) félicite le ministre de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport de prendre part à l’initiative. Les rapports de recherche et les médias font état de facteurs nombreux et divers qui entravent la réussite des enfants autochtones à l’école. Certains, comme l’éloignement et l’inaccessibilité des communautés, la rareté et le coût élevé de la nourriture, la pauvreté, les mauvaises conditions d’habitation et une infrastructure défaillante, débordent du cadre des solutions purement éducationnelles, mais ils n’en ont pas moins, en se combinant, de profonds effets sur les résultats scolaires. Il faut donc mobiliser les services sociaux et médicaux pour améliorer les conditions qui influent sur la réussite scolaire des élèves autochtones, ce qui, nous l’espérons, sera facilité au Québec par le Plan d’action gouvernemental en matière de développement social autochtone. Quoi qu’il en soit, l’éducation reste à la base de toute solution potentielle aux difficultés et aux problèmes de cette population. Pour améliorer la situation des 100 000 Autochtones du Québec, il faut commencer par la jeune génération. D’ailleurs, bon nombre des problèmes qui mènent à l’insuccès scolaire, dont quelques uns sont abordés dans ce mémoire, peuvent être résolus par le système d’éducation. Il n’est pas question ici de prescrire un « remède aux problèmes » du système scolaire autochtone, aussi ce mémoire ne formule‑t-il pas de recommandations, à la différence de la plupart de ceux que la CELA a déposés jusqu’ici. Il dresse plutôt une liste des éléments qui peuvent alimenter la discussion sur l’éducation des Autochtones au Québec. Nous espérons en outre que certaines des observations et recommandations formulées dans nos mémoires précédents au sujet du système d’éducation anglophone seront d’un apport utile, même si notre perspective est surtout celle des différences entre cultures et des problèmes de longue date des systèmes scolaires autochtones.

Indigenous Education : Walking on Both Sides of the River - Advisory Board on English Education (2017)
Worldwide research has identified low school achievement levels among students from Indigenous cultures and there is a gradual movement to improve their situation. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of the Canadian government has provided the impetus for the provinces to examine their practices and the Advisory Board on English Education (ABEE) congratulates the Minister of Education, Recreation and Sports for joining this initiative. The research literature and the media have identified a broad range of issues affecting the success of Indigenous children in schools. Some of these issues, such as the remoteness and inaccessibility of the communities, poverty, the scarcity and high cost of food, poor housing, and infrastructure problems, are outside the scope of educational solutions, although they combine to have a profound effect on educational outcomes. Social and medical services must be called upon to improve the circumstances that contribute to the educational success of Indigenous students, and we hope this will be facilitated in Québec by the provincial government’s Aboriginal Social Development Action Plan. Yet education is fundamental to any potential solution to Indigenous concerns and problems, and any changes to the situation of the 100 000 Indigenous people of Québec must start with the younger generation. Many of the issues affecting the students and their success or failure in school can be addressed by the school system and this brief will identify some of them. In no way is this brief a prescription to “cure problems” in the Indigenous school system, so it does not contain recommendations, unlike most ABEE briefs. Rather, we will identify some of the issues that might contribute to the discussion of Indigenous education in Québec. We hope that some of the observations and recommendations we have made in earlier briefs regarding the Anglophone school system will be useful additions to the conversation, even though our perspective is influenced by differences between cultures and long-standing problems within Indigenous school systems.

The official language minority community of this region has the poorest socioeconomic status in Canada when aspects such as low education levels, unemployment and low income tendencies are analyzed. Children are particularly affected by this status. Children ages 0 to 5 make up 6.6% of the total English-speaking population.

Brief to the Committee on Culture and Education : Special Consultations and Public Hearings on Bill 105, An Act to Amend the Education Act - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2016)
The Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) represents forty-eight (48) English-language community groups across Quebec. QCGN recognizes that Quebec’s English public school system is a key institution of the English-speaking community of Quebec - a linguistic minority community. The management and control of these institutions is a matter of governance subject to minority language educational rights contained in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Quebec’s democratic tradition, expressed in the political rights guaranteed by the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.

The Community Learning Centre Initiative : Framework for Action - Smith, William J. (Leading English Education and Resource Network (LEARN), 2016)
In the province of Quebec, English language-minority communities do not always have equitable access to education, health and/or social services. This challenge is particularly acute for English educational institutions and communities, especially in those regions where Anglophones make up a small percentage of the total population and the English school is the only English- language public sector institution in the community. The Community Learning Centre (CLC) Initiative helps to address this gap by building partnerships between English schools and organizations/institutions in their communities. These partnerships, facilitated by a Community Development Agent (CDA), leverage resources that benefit students, their families and the broader community. Recognizing the value of the CLC Initiative, the Association of Directors General of English School Boards of Québec (ADGESBQ) has supported its development since its inception.

ACCORD Educators Tool Kit - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (2016)
ACCORD was a 2-year pilot project (2011- 2013). Artists are always seeking new audiences. Communities and schools around Quebec appreciate performances and presentations by live artists. ACCORD connected artists and communities in new and diverse ways. The launch of the ACCORD website marked the beginning of the active part of the ACCORD Project. In Year 2, ACCORD worked with regional partners to kickstart pilot events in communities around the province, while continuing efforts to develop the online Tool Kit and to recruit new artists and presenters to join the network.

The State of the Profession of the Spiritual Care, Guidance and Community Animation Service in the Province of Quebec - Gagnon, David-Roger; Lofeodo, Frank (2016)
The 25% cuts to the Spiritual Care, Guidance and Community Animation Service, and the un-dedicating of Mesure 30070, known as Mesure 15120, had a significantly negative impact on the service to students. We would like to respectfully request that the government reconsider the 25% budget reductions imposed on the Spiritual Care, Guidance and Community Involvement Animation Service. (We refer to this work as Spiritual & Community Animation). Boards within the English Sector have always remained faithful to the Spiritual & Community Animation service as outlined in Bill 118 and see the 25% cut as inequitable. As an example of this commitment, English School Boards have invested significant amounts of money for the past 19 years in this service for aspects such as: Initial transitional work from Pastoral to Spiritual Care with Concordia University; for on-going Professional Development and training; and to staff teams of full-time Spiritual & Community Animators. Our boards have maintained the vision of Bill 118 since its inception in 2000

A Brief on Bill 86 : An Act to Modify the Organization and Governance of School Boards to Give Schools a Greater Say in Decision-making and Ensure Parents' Presence Within Each School Board's Decision-making Body - Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) (2016)
To say that the English‐speaking community dislikes the proposed Bill 86 would be a gross understatement. To say the English‐speaking community views Bill 86 as an attack on its continued existence in Quebec is the more accurate view of the community’s feelings about this “projet de loi”. The community senses, with this bill, a fundamental shift that seeks to completely submerge and eradicate any public sign of the presence of the English‐speaking community in Quebec. The community feels threatened not only about the future of its schools, but equally about its continued existence as an entity. The impression is that the present government is pursuing a systematic dismantling of the public institutions serving the English‐speaking community and increasingly diminishing its role in the public life of the province. The importance of the presence of our public institutions cannot be understated either, as they are an extremely important social construct acting as central pillars or anchors on which our community is built. The dictionary defines an institution as follows: “an organization, establishment, foundation, society, or the like, devoted to the promotion of a particular cause or program, especially one of a public, educational, or charitable character.”

Mémoire sur le projet de loi n° 86 : Loi modifiant l’organisation et la gouvernance des commissions scolaires en vue de rapprocher l’école des lieux de décision et d’assurer la présence des parents au sein de l’instance décisionnelle de la commission scolaire - Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA); Fédération québécoise des associations foyers‐écoles; The Rights and Education Committee of the Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (2016)
Dire que la communauté anglophone n'aime pas le projet de loi n° 86 serait un euphémisme. Une vue plus précise des sentiments de la communauté sur le projet de loi serait de dire qu’elle voit le projet de loi comme une attaque contre son existence au Québec. La communauté entrevoit, avec ce projet de loi, un changement fondamental qui cherche à submerger complètement et à éradiquer tout signe public de la présence de la communauté anglophone au Québec. La communauté se sent menacée non seulement dans l'avenir de ses écoles, mais également dans sa persistance en tant qu'entité. La communauté a l'impression que le gouvernement actuel poursuit un démantèlement systématique des institutions publiques desservant la collectivité anglophone et réduit de plus en plus le rôle qu’elle joue dans la vie publique de la province. L'importance de la présence de nos institutions publiques ne peut pas être sousestimée non plus, car elles sont des constructions sociales extrêmement importantes agissant comme piliers centraux ou ancres sur laquelle est bâtie une communauté. Le dictionnaire définit une institution comme suit « une organisation, création, fondation, société, ou autre – en particulier de caractère public, éducatif ou caritatif – consacrée à la promotion d’une cause ou d'un programme spécifique, ».
