The NWT School Improvement and Reporting Directive and Framework
Although there are many great things happening in our Northwest Territories’ (NWT) schools we are always striving to be better. To ensure the NWT education system continues to improve the learning outcomes for all students, I have instituted this Directive to ensure we have a continual and relevant planning process, evidence-based and student-focussed, that will ensure our work is contributing to a better result.
The Ministerial School Improvement and Reporting Directive and Framework provides direction to support schools in this ongoing endeavour. It outlines a collaborative planning model with a strong focus on learning and ensuring quality teaching continues to occur in every classroom in the NWT. The directive and framework is building on current school success initiatives and is expected to generate ideas leading to more effective practice. It acknowledges the challenges faced by educators and relies on the leadership and professional competence they bring to the classroom. It also recognizes the pivotal role of parents and communities in improving learning outcomes. The School Improvement and Reporting Directive and Framework is designed to be used in ways which best meet the needs of schools and communities in identifying their planning priorities. As always our work is underpinned by the needs of our students in order to make them successful, contributing members of our Northern society.
