2011-2014 Three Year Plan
Rocky View Schools is proud to have one of the finest public education systems in Alberta. Through the dedication and commitment of our school communities, Trustees, and Education Centre staff, over the past three years we have collectively embarked on a transformational journey to retool our education system to meet the needs of today’s 21st Century Learner, and ultimately, the future success of our communities.
This path has disrupted the status quo, challenged us to question our assumptions and current practices, and moved us towards building a culture of creation, whereby each of us has the responsibility to ensure our children develop new capacities and skills to successfully thrive in a diverse, networked society, characterized by global competition, rapid advancements in technology, and systemic innovation.
Rocky View Schools’ Draft 2011-2014 Three Year Plan is about taking our transformation to the next level. It outlines a framework that promises to move our system from a level of awareness to a point of action. The plan promises to “build the power to enrich” by focusing on four main drivers: ensuring universal accessibility, focusing on personalized, authentic-based learning, building 21st Century competencies, and accelerating research and innovation. These drivers illuminate the need to prototype new models of learning, to breathe new life into the K-12 curriculum, to inspire learners to construct and deepen their knowledge and understanding, and to embrace emerging technologies to expand our learning environments. Most importantly, this Three Year Plan highlights the importance of everyone concerned about education – not just students, parents and educators - to deepen our networking power to encourage ‘collective intelligence’ and ‘distributed innovation’ that will extend learning beyond the walls of our classrooms, our school system, and our communities. In doing so, we will provide the catalyst for today’s learners to create economically strong, vibrant, and productive communities in the future.
