Goal 1
Goal 2
Goal 3
During the 2021-22 school year, the division developed a new strategic plan titled Learning for All. In this plan, we clearly define the three main goals of our division: supporting our students and helping them thrive, affirming and empowering our communities while encouraging engagement in our schools, and providing transformative and equitable resources throughout the division.
Within these three main goals, each department developed strategies to guide the implementation of programs in the division designed to help us meet our goals. Each strategy then contains a set of metrics the division uses to determine if the strategies implemented are successful in helping us meet our goals.
This change in strategic plan led us to a change in how we present the State of the Division. Last year, our report focused on the progress we made during that year regarding these strategies, or to present baseline data to measure growth against. In this year's State of the Division, we are presenting data comparisons of the 2022-23 school year to baseline data presented in last year's State of the Division, or even beyond in some cases.
To begin exploring data and comparisons, choose an Objective you would like to learn more about from the column on the left. On each Objective page, you will find the Strategies we are using to work toward meeting this Objective, and what work was completed within each strategy during the 2022-23 school year. At the bottom of each Objective page is a series of tabs that contain the data we are using to measure the success of these strategies.
