New CoLab spurs innovations in pedagogy: Valuable support from The Molson Foundation will bolster a novel approach to education

A new partnership between McGill’s Faculty of Education and Trafalgar School for Girls – known as the CoLab – 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.

Supported by a gift of $2.5 million from The Molson Foundation, this investment represents the first half of a $5-million commitment from the foundation in honour of McGill’s upcoming bicentennial.
