  • Strategic Plan 2015 2020.Pdf
    t is with honour and pride that I present to you, the members of our community, the Lester B. Pearson School Board 2015-2020 IStrategic Plan. This plan is the result of the extraordinary efforts of a dedicated, experienced group of administrators from our schools, centers and head office, with valuable input garnered from our consultative partners. All involved were clearly focused on providing a well-rounded framework that ensures the success of our students. The three main directions within recognize the evolving environment within our schools and centers - student-led learning using the tools and technologies that will be necessary for their future, in a safe and caring space. It allows for diversity in learning styles as well as teaching styles. The plan also recognizes that mental and physical well-being are essential factors in learning. Lester B. Pearson School Board continues to lead in recognizing students’ needs for today and tomorrow. This Strategic Plan allows all staff to focus on the next five years, to plan for and build an infrastructure that supports the needs of both students and teachers and to guide the students to achieving their goals, not the least of which, as the title of this plan suggests, is life-long learning. Each of the three directions in the plan has well-articulated objectives with measurable results. The bar has been set high, but we have no doubt that as has been the case in past, we will achieve these results. On behalf of the Council of Commissioners I would like to thank Mr. Thomas Rhymes for leading the effort to create this plan and the many staff members who contributed to it.
