Case studies are rich sources of data, capturing both the process of inquiry with regard to a school’s particular focus for improvement, as well as the learning and observations obtained throughout the journey.
Focus: On the pilot implementation of FreshGrade as an electronic method for Ongoing Communication of Student Learning (OCSL) reporting for grades 8 and 9 in order to meet the new BC Ministry Reporting Guidelines for informal communication about student learning.
Focus: How will using the program ‘Successful Learner Traits’ help us to develop a common language between colleagues and students, as well as enable us to grow a positive school culture?
Focus: Indigenous perspectives within Social Emotional Learning (SEL).
Focus: We used the resource “Circle Forward” to participate in a book study which focused on us creating a safe and welcoming environment in our classrooms and school, while infusing Aboriginal understandings and practices into our everyday teaching and school culture. We focused on trying lessons from modules 4 and 5, which was centred around building connection and community and social and emotional learning.
Focus: Our focus was integrating First Nations learning within the Daily 5 literacy model, through the use of rich First Nations-based literature to extend fluency, vocabulary, accuracy, and comprehension.
