Our mandate regarding curriculum, the way we teach, and the learning resources we use comes from the Ministry of Education. School District Policy clarifies definition of emphasis. Within the context of the curriculum, individual teachers exercise professional judgment in the selection and use of materials and in the organization of class work and assignments. The purpose of the British Columbia school system is to enable learners to develop their individual potential and to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to contribute to a healthy society and a prosperous and sustainable economy. Learning requires the active participation of the learner.
People learn in a variety of ways and at different rates.
Learning is both an individual and a social process. School Growth Plan Lakewood School has three goals areas as part of the school's growth plan. These goals were developed as part of the Ministry Accreditation process in the spring of 2001. Our Code of Conduct is established for the benefit of all at Lakewood Elementary. Students must recognize that any behaviour which interferes with the safety and learning of others is unacceptable.
