Over the last two years, senior administrators and school leaders have focused on leading a quality instructional program to improve student achievement outcomes. School improvement at KPDSB begins with the belief that all children can learn. Goals are set for improvement based on data to guide the intentional actions of educators and other adults in the school community to achieve those goals. Changing student outcomes through learning requires school leaders and communities to focus on the actions, strategies, and adult learning that will support a change in student learning. Creating an effective school improvement plan requires intentional thinking and actions to support students in getting where they need to go.
Administrators from across the system have undergone professional development through various learning activities. These activities have deepened their knowledge and understanding of assessment for learning, descriptive feedback, setting quality learning goals, co-creating success criteria, and using mediative questions when having professional conversations to improve practice across the system.
