PATHWAYS TO LEARNING COMMITTEEDAY 2

We are honoured to be learning on the Traditional Territory of the Sḵwx̱� wú7mesh Úx̱wumix̱w and St’át’imc Nation.

The Purpose of Our Time Together

To set direction for education in our district.We are going to collaborate to co-create answers to three questions:1.What do we feel students need to know and be able to do for success in the future?2.How will we know? What evidence will convince us that our plan is working?3.What actions will we take to help students get there? How will we respond when students are not learning?

• Finally, you will get 5 minutes back with your own work

Consens-O-Gram

The Outer Circle Question
