Montr\u00e9al, November 21, 2018 – Young people with learning difficulties and those with behavioural problems are groups at high risk of dropping out of school. Boscoville, the Centre de transfert pour la r\u00e9ussite \u00e9ducative du Qu\u00e9bec (CTREQ) and the Centre de liaison sur l\u2019intervention et la pr\u00e9vention psychosociale (CLIPP) join forces for the first time in order to develop innovative strategies and pedagogical tools that will promote the development of social skills and foster school engagement among elementary school students in Qu\u00e9bec. <\/p>\n\n
Pilot Project to Start in Early 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n This project, which responds to government concerns about educational success, aims to offer support to school staff in managing behavioural problems among students and fostering the creation of a climate suitable for learning. Implementation of the project will officially begin in January 2019 as part of a pilot project in three elementary schools in the Marguerite-Bourgeoys and Des Bois-Francs School Boards. Steve Bissonnette, professor at the Unit\u00e9 d\u2019enseignement et de recherche en \u00e9ducation at T\u00c9LUQ and Boscoville collaborator, will act as expert scientific advisor. <\/p>\n\n \u201cThis collaboration will bring together significant skills in youth intervention, knowledge transfer and educational success, and will enable us to implement the most appropriate pedagogical practices for students with internalizing or externalizing and school engagement difficulties,\u201d says Mohsen Romdhani, Managing Director of Boscoville. \u201cIt is in line with Boscoville\u2019s primary mission, which focuses on developing and implementing best intervention and prevention practices in health and social services, school, community and family settings,\u201d he concludes. <\/p>\n\n \u201cThis developed project is a good example of the collaborative spirit we want in our organization. Since the initial concern lies at the junction of our areas of expertise, this collaboration enables us to bring a fresh perspective on a preoccupation that is very much present in the school setting, i.e., intervention with students presenting needs in terms of social skills development. The CLIPP and Boscoville are associate members of CTREQ, giving them a privileged position as partners in our activities. This engaging project, based on scientific knowledge and the development of experimental knowledge, will undoubtedly enrich the toolbox of schools in Qu\u00e9bec. We are proud to be associated with this project,\u201d says Linda St-Pierre, President and CEO of CTREQ. <\/p>\n\n \u201cBringing together the main partners was very important for us,\u201d reveals Marie Claude Lagac\u00e9, President and CEO of CLIPP. \u201cThe future of social innovation lies in bringing together diverse skills and knowledge to address social issues such as behavioural abilities and educational success. We are confident that this partnership will have a lasting impact because we are rooted in reality, and our approach is highly interactive and inclusive,\u201d she adds. <\/p>\n\n About Boscoville<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Boscoville\u2019s mission is to promote the well-being of youth aged 0 to 30.
