Development Plan

Stakeholder trust and confidence is gained when students clearly demonstrate that they understand, and can articulate, the process of their own learning. When asked, students should be able to speak to their learning processes and how their current learning will contribute to future growth.

• Alberta Education defines literacy as “the ability, confidence and willingness to engage with language to acquire, construct and communicate meaning in all aspects of daily living.”
• Alberta Education defines numeracy as “the ability, confidence and willingness to engage with quantitative or spatial information to make informed decisions in all aspects of daily living.”

Literacy and numeracy are essential competencies for successful learning and living. Literacy and numeracy continue to develop as our students attend to their learning at school and are required for success in our world. They are life-long active processes that begin at birth.

Stakeholders have expressed that they would like to see the best opportunities for learning provided in any school applied to each and every school and, to this end, a divisional approach to literacy and numeracy will be supported by all schools.
