St. Michael School
Ottawa Carleton Catholic District School Board

Challenge

IPI was asked to assist in multi-stakeholder engagement that would help solidify relationships and rejuvenate the school community.

Solution

Teachers and parents received coaching to conduct/lead interviews and gather data, facilitate several multi-stakeholder sessions, and bring about the emergence of a shared future vision for the community while identifying key innovations. Coaching and support was provided to the administration and steering committee during and following the intervention, all toward significant positive changes within the school community.

Results

Parent involvement showed a marked improvement as well as clear collaboration and support between parents and teaching staff. This was an improvement and strengthened the connection between the parent community and school. A strengthened parent and school connection was identified as a key priority for innovation and implementation. Teachers reported that students were more aware of how they can impact their school's dream personally and as a class and are taking more ownership.
