Approaching “Full” – Things ings to Consider nsider

  • As some schools approach higher capacity, some thoughts from Blewett

and Erickson staffs

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Approaching “Full” – Op Oppor portu tunities nities

  • “Full school is a vibrant school”
  • “Make it work” : resiliency, teamwork
  • Forced us to Utilize space more effectively (i.e. sensory room is used 100% now)
  • Enrolment provided more learning supports (teachers but not EA’s)
  • More intra-mural, more social opportunities
  • Students can find each other, more in common; club, activities (learning needs,

gifted etc..)

  • Configuration opportunity - K-7 - hold them longer; see them progress
  • Kitchen with concession window - so appreciated...consider this when

upgrading facilities

  • Teaching space by utilizing outdoors / outdoor classrooms
slide-27
SLIDE 27

Approaching “Full” – Chal alle leng nges es

  • Loss of specialty spaces (art, music, offices)
  • Hard to find a quiet workspace / no flex for smaller groups to gather
  • Cluttered feel (water fountains)
  • Storage space
  • Some of the classrooms small
  • Noisy when in a classroom not meant to be a classroom is next to gym etc.…
  • Transformative learning environment
  • More wear and tear and now some of that (blinds etc.) is a school responsibility
  • NOTHING is dormant - on a Wednesday - no itinerants can come in
  • Privacy – especially for counselling
  • Behaviour can increase (i.e. pinball)
slide-28
SLIDE 28

Approaching “Full” – Suppor upports ts Pro rovided/N vided/Needed eded

  • Sound barriers between gym and classrooms
  • Consider when you’re taking a non-classroom and converting to classroom
  • Library book waitlist or resources for certain types of students
  • Education Assistant in every primary classroom
  • Sinks in every classroom
  • Doors to outside from every classroom (even air quality)
  • Green and sustainable - storage
  • Consider parking/dropping off picking up
  • Messaging for turning students away for 17/18
  • Increased noon hour supervision
  • With less space we use technology and need support
  • When adding a new class - please help with resourcing (desks, library books)
slide-29
SLIDE 29

Approaching “Full” – Dis istri trict ct Suppor upports ts

  • Student Transportation Fund
  • $255,000 more in school travel monies that previous year
  • Increase of $10,197 at Salmo Elementary
  • Increase of $10,898 at Salmo Secondary
slide-30
SLIDE 30

Approaching “Full” – Dis istri trict ct Suppor upports ts

  • New Curriculum
  • …to prepare students for the future,

the curriculum must be student- centred and flexible, and maintain a focus on literacy and math skills, while supporting deeper learning

  • What and how we teach our students

has been redesigned to provide greater flexibility for teachers, while allowing space and time for students to develop their skills and explore their passions and interests.

Bac ack k to the e Future: re: What at About

  • ut the

e Su Supre reme me Cour urt t Cas ase? e?

  • BCTF, MOE and BCPSEA have come to agreement to restore 2002 class

collective agreement language

  • May impact the number of classrooms required
  • Principals/Vice-Principals working through school “builds” with “new” “old”

language

  • Review space requirements once PVP finished their work
