Public Board Unveils Student Achievement Plan

A comprehensive and aggressive Strategic Improvement Plan has been adopted by the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board.
The strategy holds students, teachers, staff, senior administration and the Board more accountable to student success.
The document identifies student success initiatives, with a heavy emphasis on aboriginal and special needs students.
Improving oral language skills at the junior Grades is one of the highlights.
43% of the student population in the School District is aboriginal.
The Board also serves 1,033 special needs students.
Early and ongoing intervention, constant monitoring, primary literacy and improved communication between staff and students are other components.
Teachers, senior administration and school staff will also be responsible for providing monthly updates on various components of the plan and student success.
The first order of business is that School’s must complete a Self-Assessment and School Improvement plan by the end of the month.
The Plan also spells out specific targets in reading, writing and math tests, with the ultimate goal a 7% improvement over last year’s scores.
