Westview School's Development Plan is an integral component of our school accountability and assurance. This plan is an extension of the Parkland School Division Education Plan, which sets out educational priorities and outcomes within the domains of education, while outlining the Division's Vision, Mission, Values, Ultimate Goal and Priorities. A strong plan implements strategies to maintain or improve student learning and achievement - while monitoring and adjusting as needed - and to help the school and division in making evidence-based decisions.
Development Plan
Westview School Development Plan 2024-2025
Every Parkland School Division school has evaluated their progress from last year in a Development Plan Results Report, using internal data, survey results, and Assurance survey results.
The goal of the Development Plan is to outline the strategies the school will follow for the school year, based on their area(s) of focus, with the goal of improving their practices and achieving their desired state - one that aligns with the Division's Mission, Vision and Values.
By participating in Alberta Education’s Assurance Model, our school and our stakeholders are actively engaged in the development of our own local priorities and plans. Our development plan allows us to remain simultaneously forward-thinking and responsive to stakeholder concerns.
Area of Focus
Outcome: Student Well-Being
Aligns with Division Outcome 2: Students and Staff Demonstrate Well-being.Students engage in healthy and fulfilling social behaviours and invest in their own well-being, while promoting a positive sense of self and belonging in others.
Outcome: Literacy Development
Literacy and numeracy are essential competencies for successful learning and living. Literacy and numeracy continue to develop as our students attend to their learning at school and are required for success in our world. They are life-long active processes that begin at birth.
Outcome: Numeracy Development
Stakeholders have expressed that they would like to see the best opportunities for learning provided in any school applied to each and every school and, to this end, a divisional approach to literacy and numeracy will continue to be supported by all schools.
Outcome: Indigenous Ways of Knowing
Aligns with Division Outcome 3: First Nations, Métis and Inuit Students are Successful. Students receive an enriching educational experience when Indigenous knowledge systems are incorporated into schools. This approach broadens perspectives by valuing diverse ways of understanding the world, fostering respect for Canada’s cultural heritage and Indigenous environmental stewardship.
