The Council of Ontario Directors of Education’s goal is to offer resources that will help families as they guide their children in learning skills that are essential for success at school and throughout life.
CODE has produced a series of booklets with input from parents across Ontario. There are Tool Kits intended for use by parents, guardians, and school staff and leaders, and Guidebooks to be used as a resource to support parent engagement and reinforce the information in the Tool Kits.
Parent Tool Kit: Relationships
What can parents do to help their children develop healthy relationships?
The booklet explores this question while offering parents tips and suggestions for conversations with their children.
A Guidebook for Parents and Schools

Planning Parent Engagement
A Guidebook for Parents and Schools
When we look closely at patterns of success for our students, there is ample evidence that achievement and positive school adjustment come from the support and guidance of parents and those who guide the learning and attitudes of our young people.
As school system leaders, the members of the Council of Ontario Directors of Education are very aware of the power and benefits of parent engagement. That’s why CODE is pleased to provide this Planning Parent Engagement Guidebook to accompany the Parent Tool Kit. In this Guidebook are examples of useful exercises and proven techniques for involvement and support.
