To reach our goal, it is imperative that the school board reaches out to all the stakeholders who stand to gain from the achievements of our students. Together with the community, the schools, students and their parents, we can create the type of environment in which students thrive. Student success is the force that drives our actions, whether at school, at home or in the community. All stakeholders are faced with meeting the challenge of helping to develop a healthy context in which our students can develop their skills. The primary responsibility of our schools and centres is to offer quality services in a caring, safe and inclusive learning community to the students and their parents. The Board supports its schools and staff in their efforts. Parents, the community and the students themselves also play integral roles to help develop our students so that they reach their potential and become valuable contributors to society. Student success is a lofty goal that necessitates the participation of everyone so that we can meet the difficult challenges that lie ahead. With the help of students, family, educators, school staff and the community, the EMSB will strive to achieve its goal by actively adopting four strategic orientations: promote and foster a culture of student success, provide a safe, secure, healthy and welcoming environment, build a professional learning community and develop and foster active community relations and partnerships. These orientations form the backbone of the EMSB’s 2009-2014 strategic plan to increase the success rate of our students. The participation of everyone remains the key to their success. Together, we can help students to reach their potential and become valuable members of society. We wish to acknowledge the contribution made by the former Director General, Mr. Antonio Lacroce, in the realization of this Strategic Plan. Angela Mancini Chairman Mario Tirelli Director General TOGETHER ENABLING STUDENT SUCCESS│ STRATEGIC ORIENTATION PLAN 3 INTRODUCTION To exercise its functions and powers, every school board must adopt a multi-year strategic plan in order to respect its legal obligations. Our strategic plan builds on the groundwork laid by the strategic plan of the Ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport (MELS). It also includes the five (5) goals that MELS has determined as requirements for the Partnership Agreement between MELS and the school board, required by Bill 88. 1. Increased graduation rates and qualifications before age 20 2. Improved command of the French (and English) language 3. Improved levels of retention in school and academic success among certain target groups, especially among handicapped students or students with learning or adjustment difficulties 4. A healthier and safer school environment 5. An increase in the number of students under 20 years of age enrolled in vocational training Our orientations, objectives and strategies incorporate these five (5) goals. The English Montreal School Board’s strategic plan for 2009-2014 proceeds along the four principal orientations that guided the previous plan. These orientations support our goal of academic success for the young and adult student population. They reflect the EMSB’s mission, vision and values. The strategic plan is the culmination of the EMSB’s analysis of its student success rate, administrative and academic management, environment and ministerial goals. These documents are the fruit of the work done by in-school and board administrators meeting with all stakeholders. This analysis was conducted with the participation and commitment of all the senior and senior executive staff of the school board. First, the directorate general met with all the stakeholders, including the Central Management Advisory Committee (CMAC) and the Management Table, youth sector students, Regional Parents' Committee, adult education and vocational training sector students, union representatives (teachers, professionals, white-collar and blue-collar support staff) as well as commissioners. The strategic orientations were submitted to various groups for consultation. Governing Board members, high school students, adult education and vocational training sector students, professional associations (Association of Montreal School Administrators [AMSA], Association of English Montreal Board Administrators [AEMBA] and Association des cadres scolaires du Québec [ACSQ]), unionized personnel and unions (Montreal Teachers' Association [MTA], Association professionnelle du personnel administratif [APPA], Québec Federation of Labour [QFL] and the Syndicat des professionnelles et professionnels du milieu de l’éducation de Montréal [SPPMEM]) as well as parents responded. Then, the CMAC and the Management Table, along with commissioners, fine-tuned the objectives and strategies, indicators and results sought. This process enabled us to prepare the 2009-2014 Strategic Plan while ensuring coherence between the concerns and issues identified and the orientations and objectives sought. The strategic plan includes a portrait of the EMSB describing the main characteristics of its milieu, mission statement, vision and values as well as the development and choice of strategic orientations and the definition of the objectives, means, results and indicators sought. The participation of all in the various stages of revision and preparation of the strategic plan leads one to believe that the implementation of the 2009-2014 strategic plan will see us Together.. enabling student success.

Yet, for this Grade 11 student at St. Leonard’s Laurier Macdonald High School, her project has become anything but personal. Carrying a backpack full of post-it notes and pens, Stefania’s goal was to mirror the “Operation Beautiful” project, a viral initiative created by American parent Caitlin Boyle, in which she began posting positive messages in public bathrooms, hoping it would catch on. “If I could help at least one person, that would be amazing,” said Stefania. “Just the thought of having someone write a positive Stefania Restagno’s project has attracted national media attention.

    Le mot des coprésidents À la veille de ses quinze années d’existence, La Fondation de la tolérance poursuit sa croissance et nous sommes très fiers d’y être associés. En effet, ses principales activités continuent à susciter un intérêt unique auprès des élèves des écoles secondaires à travers le Québec. Tout comme nous, nos partenaires scolaires sont convaincus que la tolérance est un combat au quotidien qui passe par la connaissance de l’autre ; aussi, croyons-nous que l’éducation à la différence est l’une des solu- tions pour combattre toute forme de discrimination. Nous sommes persuadés que notre message d’ouverture amène nos jeunes à être plus solidaires et plus soucieux des libertés publiques et à per- cevoir les avantages dont ils pourraient eux-mêmes bénéficier à vivre dans une société plus ouverte et fière des ses différences. L’année financière 2008-20091 a été marquée par trois faits notables. Le premier est la création du Prix de la Tolérance Paul Gérin-Lajoie. Décerné annuellement, ce prix honorera une personnalité qué- bécoise pour sa contribution exceptionnelle à la promotion des valeurs humanistes de tolérance, de lutte contre toute forme de discrimination et de rapprochement entre les Québécois et Québécoi- ses de toutes origines et de toutes conditions. Le second est la mise sur pied d’un conseil des Gou- verneurs composé de personnalités réputées qui ont accepté de souscrire publiquement à la mission de l’organisme. Le troisième est la mise sur pied de la première campagne majeure de financement pour l’année financière 2009-2010. Finalement, nous tenons à remercier nos donateurs pour leur générosité, les membres du conseil d’administration pour leur implication ainsi que les employés de La Fondation de la tolérance pour leur professionnalisme et leur dévouement au quotidien.
