The goal is a richer and more relevant education for all our elementary and secondary students. The changes necessary to bring about the new program cannot all be made immediately.
Successful implementation takes time.
The challenge is clear. We need the collective talents and support of educators across Ontario to give our students the new skills and guidance they need to succeed in the next millennium. The Partnership's task is to help ensure that the implementation runs smoothly and effectively. The Partnership includes representation from the Faculties of Education, Ontario Teachers' Federation , Education Improvement Commission , Ontario College of Teachers , Education Quality and Accountability Office , principals, vice-principals, Directors of Education, superintendents, students, trustees and parents. The Partnership is meeting regularly during the course of the implementation period to provide feedback on progress and recommend tools and resources to help teachers.
