The Board of Education is committed to providing all students with an education program that best suits their needs and enables them to achieve their maximum potential in a safe, caring and welcoming environment. The Board supports an inclusive education system in which all students are fully participating members in a school community.
The unique needs of individuals and the challenges of a small, remote school district are taken into account when providing support services to students. The Board supports courageous, engaging and personalized learning for all students that inspires success for all students. Where additional services and support for students are needed, decisions are made in consultation with parents, students (when appropriate) and members of the school-based team.
Culturally relevant programs and services provide the foundation for healthy students and communities. The Response to Instruction Framework incorporates a flexible continuum of school-wide strategies for all students, targeted supports and intensive supports.
The Universal Instructional Design Framework brings together many school district initiatives to provide multiple avenues of access to curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Services and support focus on multiple pathways to success and multiple ways of defining success.
Within these Frameworks students receive maximum benefit from their education program, in accordance with the objectives of Provincial curricula, Board approved programs and school programs.
