DISTRICT PRIORITIES 2008-2011
Edmonton Public Schools' Board of Trustees is committed to excellence and to providing students with outstanding educational experiences that prepare them to be leaders in an evolving global society.
We respect and embrace the diversity of our students' unique needs, interests and strengths.
We believe education is a shared responsibility that requires the active engagement of
students, staff, parents and the community.
Through an extensive consultation process with stakeholders, the Board has
established the following priority outcomes:
- To ensure every student is successful in their program of studies,
with an emphasis on literacy and numeracy.
- To instill in each student the attributes of citizenship and good
character in a learning environment that promotes health, well-being
and positive relationships.
- To provide a collaborative, healthy and innovative workplace that
recognizes individual contributions and supports opportunities for growth and professional development.
Our success is measured in many ways:
- student achievement, personal growth, responsibility and satisfaction;
- staff effectiveness and satisfaction;
- exemplary leadership and service of all staff and the Board of Trustees;
- parent satisfaction, involvement and support;
- community support, engagement and partnerships;
- provision and maintenance of functional, safe and well-kept facilities; and
- Alberta Education's mandated Accountability Pillar.
