Chinook Board of Education
The Chinook Board of Education has established the strategic plan as a major component of its leadership vision. It is intended that this plan will provide a flexible blueprint to direct the activities of the Board through the 2023-2024 school year. When successful, these activities will actualize the Foundational Statements.
Provincial Education Plan
The Saskatchewan Ministry of Education released the Provincial Education Plan (PEP) in the fall. The long-term provincial education plan represents a commitment to Saskatchewan students and their families. The focus of the plan is on supporting students in learning what they need for their future, to ensure students feel safe and supported, and that they belong, are valued and can be themselves in their schools, families and communities.
The long-term PEP will focus on the needs of all Prekindergarten to Grade 12 students. This plan reflects the diversity of the province and ensures the presence and voices of First Nations and Métis education organizations are heard and felt throughout, as part of the journey towards reconciliation in Saskatchewan. The provincial education plan actions build resiliency in students and the foundational skills, knowledge and competencies they will need for their future. The actions support transitions and pathways through the K-12 system toward participation in future learning, work, career, entrepreneurship and adult life.
The first year of the new Provincial Education Plan will be in place from 2023-2030. Four priority actions of equal importance will be undertaken in the plan:
- Learning and Assessment;
- Indigenous Education;
- Mental Health and Well-Being, and;
- Student Transitions.
These actions will be assessed and updated over the course of the plan as the work progresses, priorities shift and we adapt to the ever-changing landscape of education.
