Message from our Director
Welcome to the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study!
Jackman-ICS is a multidiscipline institution with three fully integrated programs: Laboratory School (nursery to sixth grade); a teacher education program (Master of Arts in Child Study and Education); and the Laidlaw Research Centre. As one of the few institutions in the world that integrates research and practice in teaching and teacher education, we are a global leader in education.
I am proud to be the Director of Jackman-ICS, an institution that began in 1925. Â Our committed faculty (teachers and professors) strive for excellence, allowing us to continue to meet the founding goals of exemplary education and research.
Â
-Clare Kosnik,
Director of Jackman ICS
Our inquiry-focused programs enrich our practice and engage our learners, and are housed right in our building.
