INITIATIVE OVERVIEW: We are using HP Technology to integrate effective pedagogical strategies with technology and support to transform teaching and learning in the community of Malton. The technology provided by the grant will be used by key stakeholders to ensure a seamless transition for the Grade 8 students as they move into Grade 9. The primary objective is to significantly improve student achievement at Ascension of our Lord Secondary School as well as the two elementary feeder schools, Holy Cross and St. Raphael’s.

Impact on Student LearningWork collaboratively to solve problems within the classroom and within the community using the technology (interactive whiteboards, probeware (Pasco and Vernier), Nspire software, HP mini-notes); collect and analyze data using appropriate technology. This will be measured using student performance data on tasks in math and science. Use the technology to communicate effectively (online collaboration with peers, present reports to various stakeholders). This will be measured using student surveys gathering anecdotal evidence of effective student communication.

Impact on InstructionTeachers have become proficient in the use of technology (interactive whiteboards, teacher tablet PC, student HP mini-notes, Nspire handhelds and probeware (Pasco and Vernier)) as seen in the teacher survey and day to day practices. Teachers have implemented effective pedagogical strategies using technology in their classrooms. Teacher collaboration to plan learning activities that feature the technology has been ongoing throughout the year.Improve collaboration between elementary and secondary teachers. This will be measured by tracking the number of cross-panel meetings.

Impact on Systemic SupportProvide innovative ways to allow teacher access to research-proven technology that improves student achievement. This will be measured using the ICT-MTi Teacher Satisfaction Survey administered by ICT.Encourage administrators to schedule common planning time to allow teachers to collaborate. This will be measured using the ICT-MTi Teacher Satisfaction Survey administered by ICT.Provide innovative ways to allow teachers to have professional learning opportunities that will expand their pedagogical repertoire. This will be measured using the ICT-MTi Teacher Satisfaction Survey administered by ICT.Use Board Consultants to help teachers achieve instructional practice objectives. This will be measured by tracking consultations between teachers and consultants.Use Board Researcher to guide the action-research component in order to measure change in teacher pedagogy. This will be evidenced by the Board Researcher’s report of findings for the project.
