A pleasure to visit Stewart Av PS. At Stewart the commitment to the Structured Literacy approach & Math Action Plan has had a positive effect on behaviour. Incidents have fallen as students recognize their ability to succeed. Shout out to staff for their commitment & hard work.

At Queen Elizabeth P.S., Math support Megan Chadwick & Gr 1 teacher, Jordan Tummillo used manipulatives, rick-a-racks, games to reinforce number concepts for addition. Students explained their thinking & the skill being used. Wonderful educators empowering learning in math.

A great start to the new year when I visited Preston HS. Making the school a place where all students feel they belong is a focus. Collaborative inquiry evident in Gr 11 Indigenous Studies & Science as well as the ACE class. Student engagement in a positive learning environment.

Thanks to Doon P.S. for excellence. Teachers Val MacDonald, Vinny Lowry, Deanna Reinhart use technology to extend math learning & reinforce facts & concepts. What I Need (WIN) groups-a timetabled intervention approach supports academic & social-emotional needs. Students first!
