Learning is more powerful when we build relationship, think critically, innovate together, solve interesting problems, challenge ourselves and learn from each other.
School climate goals
We will create a safe caring and inclusive school climate conducive to learning where:
- Students will improve their self-regulation skills
- Students will increase their awareness of strategies to reduce anxiety
- Students will improve their self-image and confidence as learners (the ability to take risks, persevere, challenge oneself)
- Students will increase their capacity to manage social situations and small problems
Strategies:
- We will continue with early identification and ongoing intervention for socio-emotional and self regulation needs.
- We will implement a school wide focus on self regulation strategies.
- We will teach mindfulness and problem solving strategies (Kelso's Choices, WITS, LEADS Fourth R).
- We will maintain a restorative, MENDing approach to address issues following a progressive discipline model.
- We will improve our communication with families though an investigation into a variety of technologies.
- We will increase the number of opportunities that students have to voice their opinions and contribute to the success of their school.
