Stephanie shared current School Improvement/Positive Learning and Working Environment Goal. This goal was created last year but progress was put on hold due to the closure of school. To start all students and staff will complete a resiliency screener adapted from the
Resilience Research Center at Dalhousie University. This data will be used by the school leadership team (administration and teacher supervisors from each grade level) to plan school-wide initiatives and students and staff will be reassessed in late Spring.
School Improvement Plan/Positive Learning and Working Environment Plan – Based on annual Our School student survey data, Health and Wellness surveys, school data such as office and guidance referrals, and current world realities, mental health issues are on the rise. Our focus continues to be learning about and implementing trauma informed
teaching practices, as well as working with staff and students to build resiliency. - Future Meeting Dates – 6:30 p.m., January 13, 2021
