An action that we have taken to support our school’s learning focus is: 

In June, all Semester 2 English 8 classes completed the final literacy assessment of the school year. This assessment served as a follow-up to the literacy assessments administered in September and January, measuring student growth across the same core literacy skills: vocabulary, identifying main ideas, making inferences, making connections, and written responses.  

This action supports our school’s learning focus in the following ways: 

A total of 110 students completed the assessment. The results will provide insight into the efficacy of this year's literacy initiatives, inform instructional planning for next year with this cohort, and help identify trends to support future literacy planning for incoming Grade 8 students.
