DEMONSTRATE THE VALUE OF SUPPORTING CATHOLIC EDUCATION
Identify, Develop & Support Leaders Leadership plays a pivotal role in any organization. Implementation of a Board Leadership Development Strategy (BLDS) is extremely imperative in the roles of Principal and Vice Principal. Focusing on mentoring aspiring and experienced leaders is imperative in succession planning and performance appraisal. Unfortunately, the Ministry put a pause on funding this program for the 2020-21 school year. We are in the process of reviewing the Aspiring Leadership Program with the intention of finding innovative ways to support it through our own funds. Resource Support Board Resource staff follow a two-tiered system of support for students considered at risk academically. One level focuses on the teachers and the other on the students themselves. Support for staff includes: capacity building in Literacy and Numeracy and Indigenous world views, to help increase performance at all levels for all students. Our Literacy, Numeracy and French Resource teachers co-plan, co-teach and co-debrief with classroom teachers to strengthen content area understanding and instructional strategies. An emphasis on improving teacher pedagogy, including the integration of Deep Learning, is a focus for this team. The Indigenous Student Support Teacher works directly with students to inquire and discover which learning strategies work best for which students.
