Dear Readers,


January is upon us, and with it comes the traditional gamut of resolutions, promises and projects. If you are like us, it only takes a couple of weeks before they are all forgotten or placed on the back burner.


So this year, instead of the long list of resolutions, let’s focus on a simpler endeavour: a shift of mindset. Let’s leave the fixed mindset on the shelf and pick up the growth version. Let’s choose the one where potential can be developed, skills come from practice, failure becomes feedback and flaws are opportunities to improve. And most important of all, let’s take the time to process this switch and not expect everything to happen in a flash moment.


We hope that 2024 will be fruitful, kind and filled with all that you wish for.


Julie, Micheline

Complementary Educational Services

It was decided that our common strengths would be used toward one essential goal: to support learners in their reading strategies.


Using a class portrait as our main research tool, we were able to identify that reading was a common challenge among our learners, no matter their academic paths. In the months to come, the emphasis will be on means to encourage learners to use reading strategies in different contexts.

Emotional Challenges and Adult Learners

By Lucie Tremblay, SEC


As individuals working in the field of Adult Education, we often find ourselves facing students with significant challenges to overcome. These challenges may be academic, personal, social, or economic, they bring a variety of needs that also generate reactions and emotions. In the world of education, curriculum content often represents a priority, but it is crucial to consider the psychological state of our adult learners. A mind filled with concerns is not available for learning.
