今年九月，卡尔加里教育局在2018年IAP2（国际公共参与协会）加拿大核心价值奖的年度组织奖类别中获得荣誉提名。CBE获得该奖项是因为其在与Delaney + Associates合作共同开发和实施名为“对话”的系统性社区参与方法方面所做出的努力。

在过去的三年里，“对话”在卡尔加里教育局参与决策的方式上产生了重大影响。通过改善我们的社区参与实践，我们积极影响着员工、学生、家长和社区成员。CBE正在建立起一种强大的咨询文化，不仅通过创建“对话”框架，还为参与社区参与活动的CBE员工提供工具和培训支持。

工具包中包括30多个提示表、模板和其他资源，CBE领导人在需要时可以随时访问。培训于2017年12月开始，并在2017-18学年期间，有600多位CBE领导人参加了由我们内部开发的在线游戏培训课程。

自从开始制定“对话”框架以来，CBE已邀请每位家长和大多数员工和学生参与至少一个参与倡议。许多人参与了多个倡议。其中一些社区参与活动的例子包括：

• 收集关于交通服务水平的意见和反馈。
• 与受新学校开放影响的50多个学校社区直接或间接进行咨询。
• 对科学课程和汉语双语课程的兴趣表达。
• 收集对系统范围数学战略发展的反馈。

将社区参与纳入决策是一个持续进行的工作。通过“对话”，CBE为利益相关者提供了更一致的社区参与经验，并以学生的最佳利益作出可持续的决策。

This September the Calgary Board of Education received an honorable mention award in the Organization of the Year category of the 2018 IAP2 (International Association of Public Participation) Canada Core Values Awards. The CBE was recognized for its work to develop and implement a system-wide approach to community engagement called Dialogue. This approach was developed working in collaboration with Delaney + Associates.

In the past three years, Dialogue has had a significant impact on how the CBE involves people in decisions that affect them. By improving our community engagement practices, we are positively impacting staff, students, parents and community members. The CBE is building a strong culture of consultation not only by creating the Dialogue Framework, but also by providing a toolkit and training to support CBE employees who are involved in community engagement activities.

The toolkit includes more than 30 tipsheets, templates and other resources that can be accessed whenever CBE leaders need them. Training began in December 2017 and during the 2017-18 school year, more than 600 CBE leaders participated in training sessions featuring an online game that was developed in-house.

Since work began on the Dialogue Framework, the CBE has invited every parent and most staff and students to participate in at least one engagement initiative. Many have participated in more than one initiative. A few examples of these community engagement activities include:

• Gathering input and feedback on transportation service levels.
• Consulting with more than 50 school communities directly or indirectly impacted by the openings of new schools.
• Expressions of Interest for the Science Program and Mandarin Bilingual Program.
• Gathering feedback on the development of a system-wide math strategy.

The work to embed community engagement in decision-making is ongoing. Dialogue has helped the CBE deliver a more consistent community engagement experience to stakeholders and make sustainable decisions in the best interests of students.
