First Time Eligible Near North Province Previously Eligible Near North Province
The OSSLT results are important, but they are only one piece of the data that schools analyze and respond to in order to improve student achievement; schools consider all information such as assignments, teacher observations, pass/fail rates, and credit accumulation, attendance, among other data, in order to complete the picture and provide direction for instructional practices and supports. The results for our Previously Eligible students indicate the shared commitment and hard work of our school staffs in identifying the areas of strength and areas needing improvement and, as a result, changing instructional practices to meet the needs of these students. There will be a thorough analysis of all current and previous assessment data to identify the areas of critical need and to determine plans to improve student learning, so that we can continue to provide Excellence in Teaching and Learning. We are looking closely at assessment and contextual data for this and next years student cohort, to determine what we need to do to ensure greater success in the literacy and numeracy skills they will need for their future success. The provincial analysis linking Grade 6 results to student success on the OSSLT encourages us to continue to focus on laying and developing the foundation for the type of literacy skills expected at the secondary level in the elementary grades. The Board is continuing the K-12 Family of Schools model to ensure greater opportunities for secondary school staff to collaborate with colleagues in their elementary feeder schools about students learning needs, instructional supports and program.
