CAPSC Feedback to Trustees on Tripartite Discussions on Workforce Stability and the Transformation of Education
As many of you know, CAPSC was asked by the Board of Trustees to respond to the following question, "From your association’s perspective, what changes in the K-12 education system will have the most impact on student success? Please provide us with your top three suggestions for changes." This feedback would form part of their response to the Alberta School Boards' Association (ASBA) who in turn will be representing school boards in a Tripartite Discussion with the Minister of Education and the Alberta Teachers' Association around workforce stability and the transformation of K - 12 education.
Given the very tight timeline, CAPSC was very pleased to hear from nearly 40 individuals and school councils. All responses were provided in a report to trustees and the items that appeared most frequently were Class Size, Principal/Teacher (support, professional development,evaluation, accountability), predictable and sustainable funding, and supports/resources for special needs and ESL. We will have more details available in our newsletter that will be out shortly.
Since then, we have heard back from the Executive Assistant to the Board of Trustees thanking parents and CAPSC executive on behalf of the Board for "responding to the Board’s request for input into the topics at the Alberta Education/ATA/ASBA discussion table. Please extend the Board’s thanks to all parents who took the time to respond on such very short notice." A link to the Board of Trustee's submission was also included.
