In a recent government meeting, key discussions centered around the ongoing curriculum program review and professional development (PD) plans for the upcoming academic year. The focus for elementary education this year is on refining proficiency scales to better assess student learning progression. A dedicated team, guided by an expert in the field, is working to enhance these scales, ensuring they effectively reflect student achievements.
For middle and high school levels, the emphasis will shift towards assessment training, particularly for non-core subjects and mathematics. Educators will receive training aligned with the success criteria they have previously established, allowing them to better define and measure student success.
Additionally, the PD committee convened to evaluate the current PD plan and strategize for the next year. Administrators are encouraged to participate in these professional development opportunities to foster a collaborative learning environment.
The meeting also touched on supplemental funding discussions with Raymond James, aimed at completing the high school renovation project, highlighting the ongoing commitment to improving educational facilities.
