RECENT LEARNING DIRECTION

2025 - Present:

As a school, we are committed to exploring what our learners need in order to be powerful readers, specifically making sure they understand what they are reading.

WHY:

Collectively, we see the need to further develop reading for our learners. As we embark on this endeavor, we need to analyze where our learners are at and what specific reading area we need to address as a school.

WHAT:

Thus, we are pursuing a new inquiry and asking ourselves Where to next with our learners when it comes to reading? Our hunch is that reading is an area that requires further development, yet we are seeking what specific foundation needs further explicit teaching. We are leaning more into comprehension since we know that our learners need to understand what they are reading.

HOW:

Using the RFRA assessment, we will get baseline data to help us focus on one reading comprehension strand to further develop as a whole school with the intent to build consistent use of language and approaches. We plan to assess that one reading area again in May to see what progress we have made over time.
