Chinook School DivisionMath Goal

In Year one (2011-2012) it was a transition year and schools choose tofocus their goal on building capacity among their staff as we transitioned fromLiteracy to Math. Now, after 3 years, we have recently focused on the Guided Math Model by Laney Sammons. We have built our knowledge and capacity in creating Math Workstations, using Small Group Instruction and Whole Group Instruction in teaching and learning of Mathematics.

Chinook School Division MATH MOMENTUM - “Possibilities are Endless . . . ”

Goal: It is our intention that all students in Chinook will be meeting or exceeding Chinook expectations in math on Chinook division wide math assessments over time. In the immediate future we will measure the cohorts in Gr. 3, 6, and 9 with Chinook Assessments; our target is for 25% more students meeting or exceeding Chinook expectations in math by June 2015. After the first 2 years, we are already at an increase of 18% growth. After this June 2014, we should

be at or above the 25% target goal.

Our Motto: Striving for Success!

Our MISSION Statement – our fundamental purpose

Success School is to be dedicated to creating and maintaining a respectful learning environment where all members of our

learning community reach a high level of personal achievement through learning for all.

Grade K through 9 PLC (Professional Learning Communities) SMART Goals:

PLC SMART Goals for 2013-2014 K-5 SMART Goal: By June 2014, 90% of students in Kindergarten to Grade 5 will be meeting or exceeding expectations (Blue & Green on our division`s dashboard) for all the math outcomes using the Saskatchewan Common Math Assessment and the Vancouver IslandNet Assessment. Gr. 6-9 SMART Goal: By June 2014, we will have 80% of students in Gr. 6-9 meeting or exceeding expectations (Blue/Green dashboard levels), in the problem solving area using the Vancouver IslandNet Assessment.

Our VISION . . .

We will create a positive and safe learning environment where everyone is valued and respected.

Students will be engaged in learning activities and responsible for their own learning and behaviour.

We will be positive role models and demonstrate a love of life-long learning

Math Momentum• K-5 (Curriculum & Resources – First Steps in Math /Numeracy Nets,

Vancouver Island Net Assessment, Saskatchewan Common Math Assessments: Pre & Post Tests, Guided Math Groups – Math Work Stations, Small Group Instruction, Math Walls)

• A paradigm shift in thinking….from a traditional approach to a constructivist approach where we construct our own knowledge and focus on understanding math and by becoming problem solvers. (Constructivist Approach – Student-Centred)

• Math Assessments: Fall, Mid-Term and Spring – Vancouver Island Net Math Assessments for Gr. 2-9, and the Saskatchewan Common Math Assessment for K-2.

• Math PLC teams: K-5 and 6-9 meet a half hour each week that focuses on improving student learning in math.
