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: Our inquiry focused on creating a learning environment that supported students’ emotional regulation, allowing them to feel safe and the opportunity to work through their emotions in a safe and controlled environment.
Focus: Exploring how hands-on learning, math games and songs, stories and thinking tasks (NRICH Cambridge) influence math motivation and mathematical thinking for learners.
Implementing a structured literacy approach with emphasis on kinesthetic, visual, auditory and tactile learning to bridge learning gaps in phonemes and high frequency words
Focus: Developing your “how” learning story: Drawing from Ktunaxa “how” stories (and being outdoors), to guide students in explaining their learning.
Focus: Developing multi-grade, K-5 science lessons from both a traditional and Indigenous Principles of Learning lens.
Focus: We wanted the students that are Indigenous to be connected to their culture, as well as the other students in the school to understand that the Indigenous culture is amazing from all aspects.
Focus: Implementing the direct teaching of social skills and the creation of lunchtime social activity groups to build a sense of belonging and diverse social connections in the larger school community.
Focus: How do we improve connections to increase student success?
Focus: How can we use an anti-oppression lens to support, create and promote inclusive outdoor learning opportunities for all K-7 educators and students across the district?
