feel accepted by students in the school, as demonstrated by the CCCC School Climate
Survey results.

grade levels where teacher collaborative inquiry has focused on self-regulation skill and strategy development.
Teachers continue to dialogue to consider the impact of their work on learning skills development and are
considering ways in which to share information that supports the student as s/he transitions to a new classroom in
September.
Shared Priorities:
Building Collaborative Practices Through Inquiry
Outcomes:
2.1 By June 2016, there will be an increase in the use of successful practices that support
collaborative inquiry, as evidenced by an increase in the proportion of educators who
indicate in feedback/surveys the intent to continue to develop knowledge gained through
professional learning opportunities in collaboration with others.
Outcome Progress Comments
5/31/2015: All educators are engaged in grade level collaborative inquiries as well as a school-wide focus on math.
Staff have indicated their interest and commitment to further inquiry and collaboration in these areas of
professional learning and have identified Parent Engagement in Math as a next step for inquiry. Feedback indicates
an interest in continuing to focus on assessment as it links to mathematical processes and a divisional approach to
planning for mathematical instruction (e.g., timing strands for divisions to take on an open task question at
intervals through the school year).
