What are School Results?

School results are drawn from:

  • Report cards.
  • Standardized tests (PATs and Diploma

Exams, current and multi-year).

  • CBE Student Survey.
  • Accountability Pillar Report.
  • Measures of achievement for previous

school development plans.

  • Other achievement data collected by

teachers throughout the year.

slide-4
SLIDE 4

How are School Results Used?

  • Support student learning on a daily basis

as staff individually and collaboratively develop instructional strategies and lesson plans.

  • Inform professional development

throughout the year.

  • Inform the Three-Year Education Plan.
  • Provide key data for the school

development planning process.

SLIDE 5

What is a School Development Plan?

  • A school development plan is an action

plan for a school outlining what students and teachers will do to improve student learning outcomes connected to the school results.

  • A school development plan has three

main parts:

  • Theory of Action
  • Achievement
  • Instruction
slide-6
SLIDE 6

Why Do We Have a School Development Plan?

  • Ensures a targeted and focused approach

to address achievement gaps.

  • Allows staff, students and parents to

understand the strategies the school will use to improve student learning.

  • Fulfills legislated requirement under the

School Act.

slide-7
SLIDE 7

How Do We Develop a School Development Plan?

  • Dig deeply as a staff into student data and
  • ther achievement results.
  • Identify an issue for whole-school focus.
  • Develop an action plan to influence

student learning outcomes.

  • Share with school council for feedback.
slide-8
SLIDE 8

How is the School Development Plan Used?

  • The school development plan is the driver

for closing the gap and informs aspects such as:

  • Strategies for student learning.
  • Professional development.
  • Requests to parent associations.
  • Offsite activities.
  • Residencies.
slide-9
SLIDE 9

How Are Your Child’s Learning Needs Being Accommodated?

  • The school development plan aligns with:
  • The Programs of Study.
  • Personalized learning.
  • Other supports such as mental health.

School Results Overview

Student Learning Data

SLA results beginning grade 3 students reading comprehension multiple choice test

Key understandings from these findings indicated that students: In the English program, 84% of students met the expectations at the beginning of grade 3 in reading comprehension, which is higher than the percentage obtained in Sept 2017 by 11%. In the French Immersion program, the percentage of students meeting the expectations at a beginning grade 3 level in reading in French (76%) was lower than last year’s (85%). It was noted that more students scored in the proficient range but more students than last year placed in limited range. For the 2018-19 school year, teachers will be focusing on the high impact reading strategies at the surface, deep and transfer levels to increase students’ reading comprehension to reduce the percentage of students who scored in the limited range in both French and English.

School Results Overview

Report card results June 2018 (grades 1-4) Language Arts In 2017-18, our theory of action was: If teachers are explicit in their instruction of high impact reading comprehension strategies then students will increase their achievement in reading comprehension. The results for report 1 and report 2 for both programs are presented in the graphs below. English Language Arts comparison of results report 1 Jan 2018 and report 2 June 2018

School Results Overview

Goal 1: Students Measure of goal achievement: Decrease in the number of 2s and an increase in the number of 3s and 4s by 2% on the report card in the Language Arts outcome: Reads to explore, construct and extend understanding. For students in the English program, goal 1 was achieved in all grades. In grades 1, 2 and 4 the percentage of students achieving at level 2 decreased by more than 2 % while at the same time the percentage of students achieving at level 3 increased by more than 2% except in grade 3. In grade 3 the goal is considered as being achieved because even though the percentage of students achieving at level 3 decreased the level of students achieving at level 4 consequently increased by 13%. For students in the French Immersion program a 2% decrease in the percentage of students achieving at level 2 was evident in grades 2, 3, and 4. In grade 1 French Immersion the increase in the percentage of students achieving a 1 decreased by 5% directly related to the increase in the percentage of 2s . The decrease in the percentage of students achieving at level 3 was lower than the previous year but this decrease was directly related to the percentage increase at level 4. In grade 3, the decrease in the percentage to students achieving at level 3 is directly related to the significant increase in the percentage of students achieving at level 4. Given these explanations, all grades in the French Immersion program were assessed as having achieved goal 1.

School Results Overview

  • The different levels for measuring achievement in reading comprehension for SLAs

and report cards, posed a challenge in comparing the results obtained. However, some degree of correlation can be observed when comparing grouped levels. The descriptors for achieving at a level 1 in the report card corresponds to levels 1 and 2 combined for SLAs. The levels 3/4/5 combined have their equivalence in the report card levels 2/3/4 combined.

  • Focussing on the results at the levels 3/4/5 for both measures, the correlation for the

English program is 81% and for the French Immersion program is 100%.

  • The discrepancy between the level 3/4/5 SLA and 2/3/4 on the report card can be

attributed to the fact that the SLA is a one time measure and would be expected to be lower while the report card is a summative evaluation of a few months of learning which are assessed in a number of different ways.

  • The target of achieving 95% correlation between the SLA results at the beginning of

grade 3 when compared with the report card results at the end of grade 2 was not achieved in the English program but showed 100% correlation in the French Immersion program.

  • However, it should be noted that the results obtained for SLAs and report cards for

both programs were very consistent when comparing the 2016-17 year and the 2017- 18 year results.

School Results Overview

From the school survey results we can conclude that:

  • The degree of satisfaction regarding school and home communication has been

maintained since last year but seek to continue to improve how we communicate with parents so that we can reach a higher degree of satisfaction in that area.

  • There is a high degree of satisfaction regarding the learning and teaching that is taking

place at the school even though the percentages have fluctuated over the last four

  • years. This result correlates with the high degree of satisfaction for this same

parameter in the Accountability Pillar Survey above.

  • There is a high degree of satisfaction regarding the safety and security of children at
  • ur school.

These results have been maintained over the past 4 years and correlate directly with the results from the From the Accountability Pillar Survey as presented above.

  • Communication between school and the community is an area in which we would like

to improve and relates directly to the area identified in the Accountability Pillar survey in which we noted that preparation for work was an area of concern. The strategy to communicate to parents how the teaching and learning taking place in the school is preparing students for the world of work as well as providing parents with information that will keep them informed about the events and activities at the school including the rationale for choosing those activities and events.

School Development Plan – Achievement Goal Strategies

Strategies at the surface level of learning, students will:

  • use a range of decoding strategies to develop a

wider language and math vocabulary.

  • increase their word recognition ability and

consequently increase their reading fluency

  • use the key vocabulary in their answers
  • identify details and words that carry meaning in a

sentence and key math vocabulary to solve a problem.

slide-23
SLIDE 23

School Development Plan – Achievement Goal Strategies

Strategies at the deep level of learning, students will be able to:

  • define and explain the key vocabulary

from the text

  • ask for clarification or use supports and

resources in the classroom to clarify their understanding

  • choose the best reading comprehension

strategy

  • be involved in class discussions to

express their understanding of a text
