That our focus as Competent Communicators Incorporating Technology will take priority in our programming for the next five years. That the future belongs to those who, on their educational journey, interact with various forms of technology to promote excellence in communication. All students can learn though not at the same time or in the same way. All decisions will be made on the basis of what is best for the individual student while school staff monitors the conditions for success environment, assignments, material presented, time, etc.
Success breeds success.
There is a high expectation and standards for student work where students are given time to refine and revise their efforts to improve and be successful. Each term students will have an opportunity to do a research project in the classroom developing and using the communications and technology outcomes, growing in competency over time. Each division will study one of the learner outcomes from the Huron-Perth Statement of Direction. The nature of the research, and the breadth and depth of the project, will be determined by the teacher as deemed appropriate for the age of the children and the curriculum being studied. Some of the methods will include observation and anecdotal records by the teachers, tests and projects, and self and peer evaluation by students.
