The key components of the 2009-10 Regina Public Schools learning agenda will include an enhanced focus on the following priorities as identified in the Regina Public Schools Continuous Improvement Plan:
- Higher Literacy and Achievement
- Equitable Opportunities and Outcomes for All
- Smooth Transitions into and through the system
- Governance, Facilities and Accountability
Each school in the division works with their school community to develop a Learning Improvement Plan that is aligned with these division priorities. School plans reflect a commitment to the essential curriculum outcomes and indicators in literacy and numeracy. Learning Improvement Plans are developed based on common assessments. These plans are designed to stimulate growth and improve student achievement. These priorities will emerge in an atmosphere of caring and will be supported by a Circle of Courage philosophy and an awareness of cultural diversity.
