Kindergarten Works
Extensive research has shown that Ontario’s current Kindergarten model, which includes a full-time certified teacher and a designated early childhood educator (DECE), works best for students. It lays the foundation for all of their learning going forward and provides lasting benefits for children’s reading, writing, numeracy, self-regulation and social skills.

Support for Students with Special Needs
The funding model for special education programs is based on a predictive model rather than student needs. Funding is disconnected from what is happening in elementary classrooms and the needs of students in our schools.
