a hand holding gears K to 12 Framework for Continuous Improvement

Renew the K to 12 Framework for Continuous Improvement to strengthen school, division and provincial planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting.


What's New

Following a two-year pause in the requirement for school divisions to submit Annual Reports on Continuous Improvement, the department engaged with all 37 school divisions from February through May 2022. These collaborative discussions identified a number of key themes and priority areas to inform enhancements to the K to 12 Framework for Continuous Improvement.
