1.4.1 Parent Engagement
Ontario’s parent engagement policy, set out in Parents in Partnership: A Parent Engagement Policy for Ontario Schools, is an essential component of Ontario’s equity and inclusive education strategy. It formally recognizes and supports the vision of Ontario schools as places of partnership and inclusion, where all students, parents, and other members of the school community are welcomed and respected. The policy outlines the vision for parent involvement and sets out strategies to support parent engagement. It includes an action plan for schools, boards, and the ministry, and showcases some of the many exemplary practices that are being employed across the province. The policy also sets new directions to help ensure that all partners will have the skills, knowledge, and tools they need to build positive partnerships in support of student achievement and well-being.
