In order to enhance the learning of our students, we will take purposeful action. Below are some examples we are considering:
- Highlight the Communication and Personal Awareness Core Competencies
- Use common language across grades (Kindness Umbrella)
- Survey students to determine where they are in their learning
- Increase use of “I Statements” for student self-assessment
- Provide staff collaboration and discussion time to reflect and make plans
- Implement school wide sharing events and activities
As we continue to focus on our Social Awareness and Responsibility, we want to observe that students are better able to:
- understand and apply the language of kindness
- understand themselves as people and learners who can take responsibility for their social and physical environments
- demonstrate a sense of personal empowerment
- share ideas and inspire others by working independently and collaboratively for the benefit of others
- are aware of the impact of the decisions, actions and footprint
Our Goals for 2024-2025
- Focus deeper on Kindness to Self, in particular on resiliency, the growth mindset, perseverance and encouraging our students to take risks in their learning journey
- focus deeper on Kindness to place and build capacity in our staff to help our students care for and connect to our local environment
- create class and school-wide opportunities for our students and staff to learn and work together on kindness to self, to others and to place
- continue to connect with our secondary feeder schools and provide our students with opportunities to work together in making a difference in our community
- involve our Grade 6 and 7 students in leadership opportunities such as family teams to make our learning about kindness audible and visible throughout the school
