Why a Program Strategy?
Our Program Strategy is rethinking the way we offer programs and facilities, so that we can best meet the needs of each of our students in the 21st century. We want students to have choice, support and direction as they benefit from the knowledge and skills acquired from their educational program. We are restructuring what we offer, where we offer it and how we can help all students achieve their full potential. We know today’s learners require new approaches, and that we must respond with engaging programs and safe, nurturing and innovative learning environments.
We envision a school system in which all students can find what they need at any of our schools. A place where the placement of programs, supports and facilities makes strategic sense. A place where students feel safe, welcome, included and energized as they are moving closer to their goals. This is about providing a pathway to success for every single one of our students.
What is Changing?
The Program Strategy represents a shift in thinking at HWDSB. It responds to the input of our communities, and our students. Restructuring our programs and facilities is a large and complex task. It is a task that touches upon many themes including:
- All Students Learning
- Personalized Learning
- All Pathways in All Schools
- Schools with Specializations
- Board, Cluster and Community Supports
