Instructional leadership is essential to the development of high quality teaching and enhanced student achievement and well-being. School and system leaders at KPDSB are strengthening leadership practice by engaging in professional learning sessions together and at times with Sandra Herbst a consultant with expertise in the area of Assessment and Evaluation (connect2learning). Learning goals, criteria, feedback, triangulation of evidence and research based instructional strategies are discussed, practiced and modelled as we aim to meet the board improvement goals for student success and well-being.
