SCWI – A Year in Action
Investment in Teaching Excellence Session A1
Student Success / Learning to 18
Learning GoalsAdopt “pathways thinking” to enhance every student’s outlook for success by…
• engaging in systems thinking which allows us to look both within and to the larger system for connections that will help students maximize choice
• providing a range of diverse and engaging learning opportunities, courses, and programs, both in and outside the classroom, that meet the interests, honour all postsecondary destinations – apprenticeship training, college, community living, university, and the workplace.
