Digital technologies, connectivity and flexibility
Student agency, voice, and choice

Sustained, bidirectional home-school communication
COMMUNITY, BELONGING AND EMOTIONAL SAFETY
Students thrive when they feel connected to a supportive neighbourhood school, caring adults, and a classroom environment that is grounded in trusting relationships.
CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND ENGAGEMENT
Thoughtful curriculum design, purposeful instructional strategies, ongoing formative assessment, and social and emotional learning that fosters skills, habits and mindsets that enable academic progress and efficacy. Inquiry based learning.
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, CONNECTIVITY AND FLEXIBILITY
Teachers weave together the best aspects of face-to-face and online learning that allow students some control over the time, pace, place and path of their learning.
STUDENT AGENCY, VOICE AND CHOICE
Learning experiences include opportunities for self-direction, goal-setting, planning, and formative assessment with regular opportunities for reflection and revision of work.
FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
In a blended learning environment, parents can help their children gain independence and improve their learning outcomes by helping their children navigate the blended learning environment.
SUSTAINED, BIDIRECTIONAL HOME-SCHOOL COMMUNICATION
Two-way communication between teachers and parents has many positive effects on student learning.
