Instructional Capacity

The highest leverage strategy of educational improvement efforts is the development of staff capacity. In collaboration with the Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers Association we are making significant investments in quality professional learning for educators in current, research-based practice to increase knowledge and confidence.

Some examples of the work of are:

• Shifting from one-off workshops to a robust learning series with successive professional development sessions and classroom learning rounds, time to practice and reflect in between, and a community of practice network to support one another 
• Learning Series with exceptional BC, Canadian, and global leaders in numeracy, literacy, educational research, inclusion, resilience and trauma-informed practice. 
• Common district assessments with support for learning how to administer them, analyze results, and use what is learned to plan for instruction
• District mental health plan
• Full program of support for new teachers in their first three years
