Centres of Research

International Centre for Educational Change (ICEC)
The International Centre for Educational Change (ICEC) is a group of scholars and field developers within the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, who work together to investigate, initiate, support and speak out with integrity and authority on changes and reforms in education, locally, nationally and across the world. ICEC is the home base of the new Journal of Educational Change (published by Kluwer) of which Andy Hargreaves is Editor-in-Chief and its members are involved in many research and publication activities. The Centre has already built a tradition of creating an intellectual home for graduate students by involving them in and creating opportunities in its strong research and development program, and in the running of the journal.
