SCHOOL EDUCATION PLAN (2018-2019 – 2020-2021)

St. John Paul II School

Alberta Education requires all schools to maintain an education plan that reflects and aligns with the district’s 3 Year Plan. These plans are cyclical and fluid and are to be considered “living documents”.

• The Annual Education Results Reports (AERR) is the evaluation for all the desired and specific outcomes identified in the school plan. It is in the AERR that schools report their assessment of progress as it relates to the school’s past performance and achievement of targets. The AERR appears first followed by the 3 Year Plan to reflect the cyclical planning process. There should be a strong connection between the AERR and the School Education Plan.

• The School Education Plans are to reflect the adjustment of strategies and targets for each year.

• Target setting means establishing outcomes that arise from the analysis of current measures and performance at the school and district level and are expressed qualitatively.

• Outcomes are measurable statements of what you seek to achieve. In broad terms, they answer the question, “What will this look like when we get to where we want to be?”

THE SCHOOL’S VISION/MISSION STATEMENT

St. John Paul II School is a community of learners committed to educating the whole child, within the guidelines of the Catholic Church and the Curriculum of Alberta, under the guidance of the Calgary Catholic School District. We foster and celebrate individual accomplishments and work constantly toward self-improvement for every individual. As a community of learners, we nurture a life-long love of learning. We look to our mentor and namesake, St. John Paul II, and through his leadership and example we strive to become model teachers, model students, and model citizens whose choices and actions are guided by “Justice, Love, and Truth.” We are committed to providing a safe learning environment which fosters enthusiasm and success for all students. Within our diverse community, all St. John Paul II students are able to learn by working together, sharing their unique talents and respecting each other in a faith based environment.

SCHOOL COUNCIL INVOLVEMENT

Input from the School Council and the parents of St. John Paul II School is integral in developing our School Plan. The School Plan is developed in consultation with school staff


and shared at School Council meetings. Feedback is gathered, and changes are made as we progress through the year, as we believe that this is a “living document”. This feedback also informs the look of the School Plan in subsequent years. The cooperation, assistance and feedback from our School Council strengthens our School Plan to improve teaching and learning at St. John Paul II School.

“A” = Acceptable; “E” = Excellence – the percentages achieving the Acceptable Standard include the percentages achieving the Standard of Excellence. Alberta Education requires jurisdictions and schools to report results for Provincial Achievement Test data on the basis of the cohort group.

*This form of reporting accounts for all students enrolled at a grade level. For example, the number of students in the cohort is determined as the total of number of students who write, the number of students who are absent, and the number of students who are excused from writing by the Superintendent for valid reasons as determined by Alberta Education (because participation would be harmful to the student or the student could not respond to the test instrument). When the percentage of students meeting Standards is calculated, students who are absent or excused are considered to have not demonstrated the Acceptable Standard for a given achievement test as their achievement is not known.

Aggregated PAT results are based upon a weighted average of per cent meeting standards (Acceptable, Excellence). The weights are the number of students enrolled in each course. Courses included: English Language Arts (grades 6, 9, 9KAE), Français (grades 6 and 9), French Language Arts (grades 6 and 9), Mathematics (grades 6, 9, 9KAE), Science (grades 6, 9, 9KAE) and Social Studies (grades 6, 9, 9KAE)

Participation in Provincial Achievement Tests were impacted by the fires in May and June 2016. Caution should be used when interpreting trends over time for the province and district.
