Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth aims to
improve educational planning. (See
Priority 3 of the K-S4 Agenda, Strengthening School Planning and
Reporting.) Effective planning helps ensure that attention
and effort are placed where they are most needed. Over the last
three years, the department has emphasized outcomes-oriented planning,
evaluating results and reporting to the community. Expectations
for 2008/09 are outlined in the Letter to School Division ( 116 KB).
The document Supporting Inclusive Schools: School-Based Planning and Reporting: A Framework for Developing and Implementing Annual School Plans and Reports, outlines key planning concepts and provides suggestions that may assist school communities with their planning processes.
Departmental Planning
The department has several public components to its own planning
process. The main one is the Manitoba
K-S4 Education Agenda for Student Success: 2002-2006. The
Agenda was developed through broad consultation with individual
and organizational stakeholders. An update report
was posted to the website. Related components of department
planning include:
- An annual report of student performance
- An annual statistical profile
- Reviews and a summary of all the annual school and school division planning reports and;
- Regular liaison with various stakeholder organizations.
Divisional Planning
For the 2008/09 school year, school divisions are still required
to report to their communities. Reporting
to the department has been changed to a three year cycle which includes written reports and division visits every third year. A detailed explanation is provided in the February 2007 Letter to the Field 118 KB)
