Results
Britny Martens Great Kid Award
Britnys efforts to fundraise for the Kidney
Foundation is an example of the great kids and
work that goes on in the school. Britny is only
one example of the good things that go in this
school and the good students/people that make up
the school. As a result of the work of all
involved with the school, Alix-MAC truly is a
great place, full of great people.

Concerns
  • Working with inadequate funding
  • Continued offering of senior high CTS courses
    through a partnership with Lacombe Composite High
    School and Genders Beauty Salon
  • Staff stability from year to year
  • Difficulty of recruiting and retaining qualified
    teachers with the need for specific expertise eg.
    Sr. High Math/Sciences
  • Continuing to achieve success with combined
    classes in elementary grades
  • Working to split senior level core courses
    without creating conflicts with students who wish
    to take Fine Arts and other non-core courses
  • Being able to timetable students to courses with
    teachers in front of them rather than having to
    set them up with Distance Learning modular
    instruction
  • Stretching of assignments for teaching and
    support staff to meet the needs and program
    requirements of our students
  • To improve academic results and to instill a
    desire in the students to do their best and
    strive to achieve to their maximum potential
  • To continue to provide a holistic educational
    program for our children/students while under the
    challenges of a rural school
  • Addressing career and post-secondary education
    opportunities. This can be dealt with through
    the implementation of our new initiative of
    setting up a Career Center in the school.
    However, this will also necessitate taking a
    teacher from another program area to work in this
    area.
  • Alix is a community in transition. There is a
    change in attitude as new people move into the
    area but changes also bring about issues. We
    have received a lot of negative publicity about
    the village in both the newspapers and radio and
    we need to work hard to ensure that we, as a
    school, do not get caught up in this negativity.
    We must continue to work proactively with the
    community for the benefit of all stakeholder
    groups. With our efforts, we can change the
    negativity of Alixs growing pains towards a
    positive outlook which will be attractive to new
    families which may help our school grow in
    numbers.

11
Alix-MAC School P.D. Plan
  • Our Professional Development Plan will focus on
    helping us to deal with our goals for the school.
    Parts of each PD day will be devoted to our
    Professional Learning Teams and to bring in
    presenters to deal with the issues of school
    culture, professional learning teams and
    assessment for learning.

    Part 3 Communicating Assessment Results-
  • At all PD Days, time will also be allocated for
    wellness, team building (AISI) PLT time.
  • as a staff, we will also need to make up 11
    extra hours due to the Earned Days Off. Some of
    this time will be used from the extra hours of
    the Leading for Learning conference. The
    remainder will be used with plt meetings to be
    held after school hours.

12
GOAL 1 - Building a culture unique to our school
  • To analyze and create a more effective culture
    unique to our school, with assessment and student
    learning as its focus. We will try to
    incorporate this within a theme of dealing with
    students through
  • Trying to limit combined grade settings or doing
    so in the best interests of students and student
    learning
  • Special programs to meet student needs
  • Off-site courses (Cosmetology at Genders Hair and
    Body Co., Mechanics and Fabrication Studies CTS
    course at LCHS, students at-risk at our
    off-campus site at the Alix Youth Center)
  • Implementation of an Inclusion model for our
    Special Needs students to be a contributing part
    of our regular school classrooms
  • Striving to timetable and retain programs highly
    desirable by our students and community (e.g.
    Art, Band, wide range of Athletics for Junior and
    Senior High students)
  • Promoting exploration of alternative career
    pathways through Green Certificate and R.A.P.
    programs.
  • Invitation of Mirror Grade 7 and 8 students to
    attend Alix-MAC and take an Introductory Band
    complementary option class (11 students in
    attendance)
  • We currently run the Alix Pre-school program out
    of our Kindergarten room. In this manner, we are
    able to have the students make a smoother
    transition from pre-school to our school when
    they officially enter it as a Kindergarten
    student. This also allows us to build a
    partnership with the Village of Alix and
    especially our FCSS Program.
  • Having senior high students involved in the
    Connections 25 program. This will allow a group
    of students to accrue 4 CEUs but, more
    importantly, to have these students learn more
    about prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination,
    etc. and work together to implement a school-wide
    project that will deal with these types of
    issues. Cost of the program will be covered by
    the school but we hope that this type of program
    will continue on and be self-sustaining due to
    interest and self-efficacy.

"The Special Educator"
When I see a child...I see possibility. And I
remember that differences are the qualities which
make us unique. Mistakes should be accepted
and acknowledged as opportunities to learn and
grow. When I see a child who is frustrated,
it reminds me to quiet myself, listen
and remember that learning can be hard
work. Defiance teaches me patience
and understanding. Stubborness gives me insight
into a child's fears, and tells me how scary it
is to try new things. When I see a child who is
angry, I am sensitive to their fragility and
the complexities of their lives. Loneliness and
isolation give me opportunities to reach out and
be a friend. When I see a child...I see
resiliency, and that gives me hope. I may never
know the impact of my influence, so I am
encouraged to open my heart and give freely of
myself.

GOAL 1 - Building a culture unique to our school
Critical Evidence
  • Working in partnership with the Village of Alix
    (Xmas tree decorating, building of the Bull,
    written articles for Pride in Alix, student
    representation to Village Council)

15
GOAL 1 - New Learnings/Discoveries
  • Survey results indicate Staff and students want
    to be at this school and that there are good
    things going on in the school. Through our
    efforts we need to prove and readily show that
  • We are committed to our school, our students and
    our community
  • helping with the Village Bull, Christmas
    trees, playground set up
  • promoting and supporting new programs
    Connections 25 Administrative support to staff
    supporting Student Council and School Council
    ventures
  • We are committed to improving the school
  • Setting up thoughtful and meaningful Professional
    Learning Teams and topics
  • Looking at and acting on results of satisfaction
    surveys
  • We need to recognize the diverse needs and skills
    of our students and staff
  • Setting up teaching/working assignments based
    upon the strengths of the staff members
  • Setting up Career Center for easier access to
    information by students
  • Make students aware of who they are to see for
    specific issues (counseling, timetabling,
    testing)
  • We need to recognize staff and students for their
    many accomplishments and the good things they do
    for both the school and the community
  • Awards assemblies and nights articles and
    pictures in the local paper SPUR Awards
  • Recognition of accomplishments both in and out of
    the school
  • We need to continue to offer a holistic program
    to the students, including a wide range of
    academic (core and complementary) and athletic
    (extra-curricular and intramural) opportunities
  • This goes hand-in-hand with out struggle to find
    our identity. We need to continue to offer
  • the programs the students need, as well as
    to continue to look at other
  • avenues/partnerships to offer those
    courses which we do not have the facilities for
  • (Cosmetology at Hair Salon, Mech. and Fab.
    St. at LCHS)

Graduate, artist, athlete, motocross racer
16
GOAL 1 - Reflections
  • We are a school struggling to find its identity
  • Many in the community view us as a Fine Arts
    school because of the programs and instructional
    expertise we can offer in the areas of Art and
    Band.
  • Yet, we also run a good athletic program and are
    competitive with many larger schools in
    activities such as volleyball, basketball, rugby,
    soccer, badminton and track and field.
  • Further to this, we also have some students who
    have come out of our school with strong academic
    skills
  • Finally, we have a number of students who have
    excellent leadership skills and have been
    exemplary models of good citizens within the
    community as well as student leaders in providing
    Alix-MAC School with a positive and enthusiastic
    school atmosphere
  • Our task is to find a way in which we can blend
    all these skills and talents into our school
    whereby all can gain from them without having to
    choose one over the other.
  • Students have changed their views whereby they do
    want to be here and they do enjoy coming to
    school in Alix.

GOAL 2 Developing Meaningful PLTs
  • To have staff members become involved in
    developing and contributing towards meaningful
    and effective Professional Learning Teams. These
    plt topics will fall under the umbrella of
    assessment for student learning and focus on our
    Vision/Mission statements.
  • We have readily demonstrated the aspect of
    bringing fun back into the school, now we need
    to raise the bar and focus on the academics as
    well as the fun stuff.

25
GOAL 2 Developing Meaningful PLTs Critical
Evidence
  • Assessment for Purpose, Meaning and Reporting
  • Staff attendance at Leading and Learning
    Conference
  • Look towards creating student portfolios
  • Look towards moving to Student-Led
    Interviews/Conferences
  • Working within confines of AISI Initiative with
    overlying focus being Assessment for Learning
  • AISI facilitator Travis Wessner
  • Essential outcomes of Math and Language Arts
    courses. The initial focus will be at the K-6
    level. More flexibility will be allowed at the
    Junior/Senior High levels, but they will have to
    meet with the elementary people to build a firm
    foundation from K-12.
  • Creation of rubrics to be consistent between the
    divisional levels (Div. I-IV)

26
GOAL 2 New Learnings/Discoveries
  • There is room for improvement in our teaching
    which will hopefully result in better academic
    results.
  • New ways of doing things may help us with
    bridging the concerns of our education between
    all stakeholder groups. Assessment techniques
    and more effective reporting strategies will be a
    focus for this year. We will explore the
    possibility of implementing
  • Student portfolios
  • Student-led Interviews/Conferences
  • We have some excellent expertise on staff which
    we will need to tap into in order to move towards
    assessment for learning.
  • People are starting to work in a much more
    collaborative environment and are looking to work
    collaboratively with others (eg. Buddy groups
    with computers or reading, extra-curricular
    activities between and involving multi-grades -
    swimming program, field trips, programs involving
    other schools, especially Mirror for music and
    athletics)

27
GOAL 2 - Reflections
  • Moving towards a new Mission/Vision will cause us
    to look at changes in the way the school has
    operated for many years
  • Collaborative and team teaching across grade
    levels and perhaps even across divisions
  • New ways of assessing student achievement (report
    cards)
  • New ways of reporting student assessment
    (portfolios, student-led conferences)
  • Continuing to be in contact with the home on a
    more regular basis in order to build a stronger
    commitment to our students (phone calls, letters,
    possible failures contacts)
  • Look at the entire staff in a team concept all
    working for a single and unified purpose as
    opposed to a number of groups all doing their own
    thing
  • Flexibility of teaching/working assignments based
    upon the needs of the students and the numbers of
    students we have in specific grades. Working to
    our strengths and not necessarily to our comfort
    zone.
  • Listening to new ideas and breaking with
    tradition if it is good for education and kids
    (moving to fall graduation as opposed to spring
    commencement)
  • Accepting new transient members and their ideas
    into our teams. ACOL and people on term
    contracts must feel a part of the school team no
    matter when they got involved or for how long
    they will be staying.
  • Professional readings of educational literature
    will be a must to keep up to current trends and
    findings
  • Using the expertise of our own staff members to
    reinforce what we are attempting to do and ensure
    that what we are promoting will work for us and
    not just giving lip service to the divisions
    mandate of assessment for learning
  • Professional Development focus on a school-wide
    basis as opposed to individual interests (Leading
    for Learning conference where all will attend, PD
    school plan to focus on assessment as its
    umbrella topic)
  • Incorporating goals of PLTs into teachers
    Professional Enhancement/Growth Plan
  • Working towards the understanding and successful
    implementation of the Wolf Creek Public Schools
    7 Cs as they pertain to the school and the
    division as a whole
  • We did have a good start on PLT's last year, but
    had to make some adjustments with the changing
    AISI focus. However, the theory and rational
    behind why PLT's are important are understood by
    staff despite the change. There has been a dip
    in enthusiasm by staff toward PLT's because of
    the change. Another change or further ambiguity
    of PLT direction/AISI outcome (year 1) could
    de-rail PLT's at our school.

    and to promote the importance of academic
    achievement in the school and community.

GOAL 3 Academic Responsibility
32
GOAL 3 Improve academic results Critical
Evidence
  • We continue to be a work in progress. Our
    results are still not acceptable to what we want
    them to be. Some of this may be attributable to
  • Turnover in staffing (non-retention of new
    teachers due to budget cuts, ACOL positions for
    one year or less, teacher transfers and fitting
    in to the school/community culture)
  • New assignments and stretching personnel to
    cover the course needs which often exceeds their
    level of expertise (combining senior Math and
    Science from 1.5 fte. to 1.0 fte.)
  • Combined class settings not conducive to large
    classes, especially in the area of Math at the
    grade 10 level for combining both Pure and
    Applied courses
  • Issue of PAT tests, especially at Grade 9 level.
    (apathy by students, floating cut scales by AB.
    Education, teaching to tests)
  • Senior High students setting their sights too low
    by shooting for the 100 CEU amount and risking
    failure if they do not pass all courses
  • Overall, 2005-2006 was not a good year for us
    academically.
  • Results in PAT tests at grade 3, 6 and 9 levels
    were not good. Grade 3 results, which have
    historically been very good were down, Grade 6
    results were mediocre and Grade 9 results, with
    the exception of Social Studies, were not strong.
  • Results of the Diploma Exams were low, especially
    at the higher academic 30 levels
  • Grade 12 completion rate was down substantially
    from the previous year.
  • High number of student failures, especially in
    Grade 10 Math, Pure and Applied
  • We will need to address this issue in a serious
    manner for the 2006-2007 school year.

GOAL 3 - Reflections
  • With the use of Videoconferencing, perhaps we can
    improve instruction by
  • Offering courses we might not normally be able to
    (e.g.. Math 31)
  • Being able to split our combined classes (e.g.
    Chemistry 20/30 Physics 20/30 Math 30
    Pure/Applied)
  • We will plan to offer two courses this current
    school year
  • - Physics 20 Periods 7/8 Semester 1
  • - French 13 Periods ½ Semester 2
  • We must keep in mind that with new initiatives
    and plans always come the performance dips. To
    do this properly and in an effective manner will
    take time for all to get on board and for a true
    sense of ownership to be taken by all stakeholder
    groups.
  • Over the past two years, we have worked very hard
    to create some hooks to hang our hats on. At
    that time, the school was in need of a drastic
    change of atmosphere. The school was viewed as a
    non-desirable place to work and a school students
    did not want to attend. Student enrolment had
    dropped substantially as had staff morale. With
    a great deal of effort and support by all, the
    school has become a place where staff and
    students now enjoy attending and coming to school
    to work and learn. Parents feel welcome and all
    groups feel positive that the school is a good
    place to be and that it has the means to continue
    to improve. Staff collegiality and collaboration
    has grown which will allow us to take the next
    step, that being to focus upon academic
    improvement and growth. We continue to work to
    improve our relationships with school, parents
    and community. Professional duties and
    responsibilities are carried out to ensure that
    we work hard to make Alix-MAC the best place it
    can be and to support our vision of Learning and
    Growing Together.

GOAL 3 - New Learnings/Discoveries
  • Constant teacher turnover and shifting in
    assignments has taken a toll on the quality of
    instruction being given our students. As well,
    ineffective teaching from the previous year
    created some very serious problems for our senior
    high students, especially in the area of math.
    These problems are being dealt with and
    corrections are being made, but it will take some
    time before this damage has been overcome.
  • Perhaps the most important highlight to come
    out of these results is the fact of knowing that
    what we are presently doing is perhaps not
    working as well as we may believe. Thus, the
    move to a focus on assessment may be a timely
    venture for us.
  • We will try to correct our problem areas by
  • Moving into greater use of our Accelerated Reader
    program at the elementary level and then moving
    towards the junior high level
  • Implementing Reading 15 and Reading 25 courses at
    the grade 10 and 11 levels in order to have the
    students do more reading in an effort to improve
    on this much needed skill
  • Looking to split our large class sizes in the
    senior high Math and Science areas
  • Better counseling of senior high students as
    to program and course choices. A number of
    students seem to be taking programs which are
    either too difficult for them (eg. Math Pure
    instead of Math Applied) or not necessary for
    their potential career needs. Our Career Center
    may help with this problem.
  • We need to focus on what is important and
    continue to do our best for all those associated
    with our school and community
