Steps to Success
• Leading Student Achievement (LSA) projects and the
Teaching-Learning Critical Pathway (TLCP) process for
improving instructional practice in mathematics
• Targeted Implementation and Planning Supports (TIPS)
student math binders
• Homework Help and Gap Closing Resources
• Professional Learning Communities (PLC) of teachers
focused on data analysis and the use of response devices
to prompt discussion
• Math Coaching and Collaborative Learning in Classrooms
(CLiC) focusing on teaching through problem solving
Next Steps
• Continue to encourage and support the use of TIPS
student binders (grades 9-10)
• Continue to support students through Homework Help
and Gap Closing
• Continue to use Interactive Whiteboards, Response
units and document cameras to create a comfort level
for students writing assessments
• Focus on teaching through problem solving with new
Math Coaching and CLiC projects
• Forge links between teachers of secondary schools and
feeder elementary schools through transition initiatives –
data sharing, EQAO prep, CLiC.
