At the last meeting of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario Directors, Brenda Reil, Principal of Curriculum and Student Success, Anne Leach, Principal of Math Learning in Schools, and Melissa Mader‑Tardif, Board Indigenous Education Lead, presented information to the Board of Trustees on the Student Achievement Plan (SAP), Math Achievement Action Plan (MAAP), and the Indigenous Board Action Plan (BAP).
The SAP focuses on achieving learning outcomes in core academic skills, preparing students for future success, and enhancing student engagement and well‑being. Key actions of the plan include employing reading intervention teachers, using digital tools in mathematics, and promoting job skills programs, to name a few.
The MAAP emphasizes curriculum fidelity and understanding the needs of learners, with targeted support for priority schools identified by the Ministry of Education. This plan involves formative assessments, professional learning for teachers, and small group interventions to improve math outcomes.
The BAP aims to support First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students through initiatives such as Indigenous student success mentors, cultural clubs, and partnerships with Indigenous community members and organizations. The plan is co‑developed with the Indigenous Education Council to reflect local demographics and needs.
Overall, these plans reflect a collaborative approach to enhancing educational outcomes, promoting equity, and supporting the well‑being of all students within the CDSBEO.
“This is certainly a thorough overview, and I am so pleased to see how these action plans are coming to life within our schools and how all of our students are receiving the tools they need to be successful on their learning journey,” concluded Chair Wilson.
