We are using literacy data to identify gains and areas of weakness to inform planning and instruction. This includes work on our long-range plans, coaching and professional development with our FNSB Literacy Coaches, engagement with families, and ensuring assessments are completed and informing intervention.

Numeracy data will be integrated in our long-range plans to guide priorities and areas where more support is needed. We are ensuring on-going, school-wide professional development with Mathology. Ensuring assessments are completed and informing intervention is at the core of our numeracy strategy.

We want to provide educators and school staff with the tools to ensure that they can support the complex emotions and needs of each student. We want to empower students to express themselves in a way that feels authentic, but without risking the safety and learning of others. We will learn about co-regulation and supporting students through difficult emotions, while simultaneously giving them authority over their choices (ie- break times, identifying/labelling emotions, tools to support focus and independence).

Students should be confident and empowered to embark on cultural pursuits. By training educators to feel more comfortable taking on excursions and ventures that may feel overwhelming, we tear down a barrier and create an atmosphere of learning together. Involving elders and knowledge keepers throughout the process means we do it in a good way. Community involvement is at the core of this initiative, and we will rely on each other as we head down this path together.
