— Compass to 2020 Goals —
Every Student, Every Day
Compass to 2020 charts the course for teaching and learning across the school division with the focus of ensuring that every student is challenged and supported to reach his or her full potential. The five-year strategic framework includes four goals – high academic expectations, multiple pathways, social-emotional development, and culture of growth and excellence – and multiple strategies to guide this important work.
— Teaching and Learning Framework —
Every Teacher, Every Day
The Teaching and Learning Framework drives our efforts inside the classroom to best prepare and challenge students. This framework includes four belief statements about our collective work as educators. The foundational pieces of effective instruction (planning, teaching, assessing and responding) are featured within the framework, leading to a safe, effective learning environment for every student, every day – a concept that is always at the center of our work. To learn more about the framework’s components, click through the interactive image to reveal additional information. The video library that follows highlights exemplary classroom practices related to the framework.
