Analysis of results
Staff at SSB are satisfied with the learning environment and working
environment at SSB. In particular, the staff appreciate their opportunity to
evaluate and influence the day-to-day activities. They are also happy with the
varied instructional methods used, as well as the system for documenting
learning.
The staff does highlight that we must do more to support our students who need
special support in their learning. As an important goal in our strategic plan, we
will continue to develop this area within our school by adding additional resouces
for coaching teachers, improving documentation and methodology, and
increasing the number of conferences dedicated to this topic.
Even with a great deal of change due to our reorganization, we are proud that
3,6/4 of our teaching staff believe that our school environment is good and that
the school has clear goals for where we are going.
