OBSERVATIONS &
QUESTIONS
WHAT WE WONDER
• What can we do or do differently to support students
in Applied Programs in order to improve results in
both Literacy and Math?
• Why are we and the province seeing a decline in
success rates in literacy?
• How are teachers using diagnostic assessment data
to inform instructional practice to close achievement
gaps?
• What does the cohort data (which tracks a student
group from grades 3 to 6 to 9 to 10) reveal about
student achievement?
NEXT STEPS
1. Full analysis of the Detailed School and Board Results
(available Sept. 23) including cohort data
2. Professional learning for Administrators, School
Leaders, and Teachers using a variety of data sources
3. Continue professional learning through workshops,
Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), and
Collaborative Learning in Classrooms (CLiCs)
4. Continue to focus on improving instructional
leadership, assessment and evaluation practice, and
sharing effective practice
5. Continue data analysis and supports for sub-groups
(students in LDCC, ESL/ELD, Applied courses;
students with special needs)
