This collection supports infusing Parent Engagement into your teaching practice. Research in Saskatchewan has highlighted the importance of building collaborative relationships between parents and schools, where parents are recognized as the first and most important teachers for their children. This partnership approach involves regular communication, decision-making, and collaboration to support student success (Pushor, 2012). Moreover, valuing and respecting the diverse perspectives and experiences of parents, particularly those from Indigenous and marginalized communities, is a key aspect of creating inclusive and welcoming environments that recognize the value of parent involvement in their child's education (Pushor, 2017).

Passport for Life supports the awareness, assessment, development and advancement of physical literacy among students and teachers. The four components of physical literacy that are assessed in Passport for Life are Active Participation, Living Skills, Fitness Skills and Movement Skills. Passport for Life combines student responses to online questionnaires with student data resulting from their participation in fitness and movement skill tasks that teachers administer and observe. Based on the results of the physical literacy assessments, the Passport for Life website generates a Student Passport and a Class Passport. These passports highlight gaps in students’ physical literacy levels and support teachers in adapting their programming and instruction to provide targeted lessons that are relevant at both the class and student- levels. The passport results are user-friendly for teachers, parents and students and offer these target groups a platform to engage in meaningful conversation about student physical literacy assessment outcomes to support future improvements.
