According to the Ontario Ministry of Education, research on parent engagement tells us that there is a direct connection between parent engagement and:

• Improved academic achievement
• More positive attitudes about school
• More success with homework
• Higher rates of high school graduation
• More consistent school attendance
• Fewer behaviour problems
• A brighter future for students at school and later in life.

The sections each include articles with tips and ideas on how you can support your child’s success:

• Success in the Classroom
• Communicating for Success
• Supporting Student Transitions
• Success over the Summer

A little about Alison

As the mother of two girls, one with cerebral palsy, I have been advocating in the school system for almost 25 years. I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Geography and never expected to become so involved with the school system and supports for students with disabilities.
