• Collaboration structure in our School Learning Plan for Teachers to work together on building authentic projects.
Last year we ran a staff initiated retreat in Vancouver focused on Math assessment and hands on math inquiry. Staff have selected to continue this practice this year, and working through details for our upcoming May proD.
How is our budget aligned with this School Learning Plan?
Budget will support the funding for Professional learning teams to experience rich learning opportunities like the on-line course at Harvard.
Budget will support the additional allocation for release time for teachers.
Supporting learning resources for hands-on learning (maker space resources and Garden project resources)
