School Improvement Plans and Initiatives
In developing a School Improvement Plan we have examined a variety of data sources. Along with the analysis of our EQAO results and
CAT 3 Tests, we have reviewed daily observations of student performance, report card marks and comments, OCDSB diagnostic tests,
surveys, documents, administrative records, School Council input, and a variety of demographic factors.
Our System Initiative for this year is literacy. We have expanded our library collection, improved accessibility to students and
increased community involvement. By incorporating professional development of staff and sharing of best practices pertaining to the
teaching of reading and writing we will develop student skills in these areas. The school television broadcast studio will feature
literary achievement and engage children in learning. A new math programme is being implemented at all three grade levels. We will
focus on developing our students' proficiency in communicating mathematical ideas with a particular emphasis on mathematical
investigations using manipulatives. Emphasis will be placed on further developing students' problem solving and critical thinking
skills. We believe that this will contribute to our students' success. Our third school improvement goal relates to school climate
and culture. We will continue to build a professional learning community through collaborative teamwork, reflection, curriculum
development and addressing the needs of students at risk.
