Parents as Partners in Education is an easy to follow guide for delivering fifteen plain language workshops that help parents and guardians, including those with literacy and language barriers, to better support their children with their schooling. Parents as Partners in Education has received national and international recognition. It helps you to reach those parents who most need it.

All of our Ottawa Catholic schools and their school councils have access to these materials. Schools are permitted to reproduce the workshop pamphlets, handouts and overheads (free of charge) and may also reproduce entire sections of the resources to deliver workshops to interested parents in their school community.
