Leadership Committee for English Education in Quebec

What Leadership Committee for English Education in Quebec does

The Leadership Committee for English Education in Quebec (LCEEQ) is a Quebec-incorporated not-for-profit organization founded in 2009 and incorporated in 2015 (LCEEQ Inc.) to serve as the province-wide coordination body for English-language education. It convenes 31 member organizations spanning all nine English-language school boards (Western Quebec, Lester B. Pearson, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Centre de services scolaire de la Côte-du-Sud, Eastern Townships, Eastern Shores, Riverside, New Frontiers, Cree School Board), English CEGEPs including Heritage College, three universities (Bishop's, Concordia, McGill), professional associations (QPAT, AAESQ, ISAT, FPPE, ADGESBQ), LEARN Quebec, and the Ministry of Education. Membership and program reach extend from preschool through university, addressing fragmentation in the English-education sector and serving as the primary advocacy voice on legislative matters including Bill 96 and Bill 1.

LCEEQ's product portfolio centers on professional development delivery through digital platforms and in-person programs. Core digital assets include the LCEEQ website (lceeq.ca), the searchable PD Library (pd.lceeq.ca) of educator-created resources organized by level and subject, the DEELA English Language Arts teaching and assessment library, the conference site (conference.lceeq.ca), and the events dashboard (events.lceeq.ca). Core programs include the multi-year residential Summer Literacy Symposium run jointly with the MEQ ELA Programs Team, the annual LCEEQ Conference (2026 theme: 'You Matter - Every Action Speaks'), the Writer's Workshop with Linda Rief, Leadership for School Improvement workshops, EDDI racial-literacy workshops, Math Focus Project webinars, Mental Health webinars, and topical webinars on Bill 96, Bill 1, and the moderation process. Specialized tools include FACET (for English-French collaborative language teaching) and Rich Math Tasks. Funding programs include the Professional Development and Innovation Grants (PDIG) and John Killingbeck Teacher/Administrator Scholarships.

The business model is freemium and non-commercial: LCEEQ charges no fees to participants and is funded by a direct subsidy from the Quebec Ministry of Education (MEQ/MELS), administering an annual budget of approximately $1.5 million CAD and distributing roughly $700,000 annually through PDIG grants. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on member representation, a member login system, email newsletters (most recent Issue 126), webinars, in-person workshops, and the annual conference. Distribution is regional (Quebec only) and self-serve through the website plus direct field engagement. A material operational development is the suspension of PDIG and John Killingbeck Grants for 2026-27 in the context of an MEQ pilot project, which directly affects LCEEQ's grant-distribution mandate and introduces funding-program uncertainty even as new program lines (EDDI, Math Focus, Mental Health, AMI website) continue to be launched.

Direct peers

• Learning Forward: Learning Forward is a US-based professional membership organization dedicated exclusively to advancing professional learning for educators. It is comparable to LCEEQ in its PD-focused mission and grant/resource distribution model, though at much larger scale.
• Association of Administrators of English Schools of Quebec (AAESQ): AAESQ represents administrators of English schools in Quebec and is a Steering Committee member of LCEEQ. It delivers collaborative workshops and professional development initiatives similar to LCEEQ's offerings.
• Quebec Provincial Association of Teachers (QPAT): QPAT is the professional association representing English-language teachers in Quebec and sits on the LCEEQ Steering Committee. It provides member services, advocacy, and professional development for the same educator population LCEEQ serves.
• LEARN Quebec: LEARN (Learning English and Academic Resources Network) similarly serves the English-language education community in Quebec and is a member of LCEEQ. It focuses on digital resources and English-language learning support, overlapping with LCEEQ's PD Library and resource-distribution function.

Broad incumbents

• EdCan Network: EdCan Network is a Canadian pan-Canadian education organization serving K-12 educators with research, professional learning, and policy advocacy. It is comparable to LCEEQ in providing educator-facing PD and convening activities, though with a broader Canadian scope.
• Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD): ASCD is a global membership organization providing professional development, resources, and advocacy for educators and school leaders. It shares LCEEQ's PD-resource and capacity-building focus but operates at much larger scale and broader scope.

Regional players

• Association canadienne d'éducation de langue française (ACELF): ACELF is a Canadian national organization supporting French-language education in minority settings. It parallels LCEEQ's mandate of supporting a minority linguistic community's education system, but serves the opposite linguistic community and operates at national scope.
• Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario (CEPEO): CEPEO coordinates French-language public education in Eastern Ontario, paralleling LCEEQ's role for English-language education in Quebec. Both are coordination bodies for minority-language education in their respective provinces, though CEPEO is itself a school board rather than a coordinating committee.
