Parental engagement: roles, expectations, and issues
200 school perseverance stakeholders gathered at the Grande Bibliothèque to discuss the myriad facets of parental engagement in children’s educational experience. The presentation of research findings sparked a consideration of the roles and expectations of parents and other educational stakeholders, of the issues related to parental engagement, and of how to promote the value of such engagement.
The presentation was followed by a panel to present initiatives and shed light on the conditions that promote parental engagement and on traps to avoid.

Immigrant students and success in high school
A research team studying immigration, equity, and schooling (Groupe de recherche Immigration, équité et scolarisation—GRIES) joined forces with Montreal Hooked on School to launch 13 summary documents about the high school success of students from immigrant backgrounds. To help disseminate the group’s conclusion and determine their effects on programs and practices, over 150 representatives from all sectors gathered at the Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys for a half-day of discussions on the highlights of these documents.
