Strategic Plan
Strategic Plan & FESL
This page is designed to serve as a repository for the same information that would have previously appeared in documents we shared with the Ministry of Education, including the District Achievement Contract and the Superintendent’s Report on Achievement. It also serves the additional function of sharing and reporting on the district’s Strategic Plan and meet the Ministry of Education’s new Framework for Enhancing Student Learning expectations.
Strategic Plan
The Board of Education thanks community groups, staff and students for their input into the Strategic Plan 2019-2023. The 2020-2021 school year marks the second year of our strategic plan.
This strategic plan is supported with an implementation plan that details how the goals will be achieved. Public reports on strategic plan goals are presented regularly to the Board of Education and are available below.
If you have any questions or comments about public education on the Sunshine Coast, please speak to any of us in School District 46. We would love to hear from you!
Enhancing Student Learning Report to the Ministry | 2021
The annual Enhancing Student Learning Report to the Ministry of Education was discussed at the June 2021 Board Committee of the Whole meeting and sought Board approval at the September 2021 Board Meeting. The final report was shared with the Ministry of Education in September 2021 and is available here.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN & Annual Review Process
The district’s continuous improvement model includes an annual cycle of implementation, monitoring, evaluation and adaptations for each goal.
The implementation plan is an internal four-year working document that operationalizes the strategic plan. It is paired with a communication plan that ensures engagement with all stakeholder groups and each goal is met through the full annual cycle.
The implementation plan includes the annual initiatives, Indigenous connections, resources required, and goal progress with evidence. Included is an example of our implementation plan for the goal 1b: Early Learning. Public reports on strategic plan goals (available below) are presented monthly to the Board of Education and include qualitative and quantitative analysis and, “Next Steps”.
