Lisa Davis, founder of two STEM-focused charter schools in Alberta and a former Calgary Board of Education trustee, joins Alberta Edge to discuss the growing challenges facing Canada's education system. Davis argues that declining academic standards, inconsistent grading practices, weak accountability, and a lack of standardized measures across schools and provinces are making it increasingly difficult to assess student performance and prepare young people for future opportunities. She makes the case for standardized testing, evidence-based instruction, and greater accountability in K-12.
