Our focus continues to be improvement of teacher practices to improve student achievement. In examining data available to the school (PAT, Diploma, CAT, Satisfaction Surveys and school generated data), one area of student achievement we want to see is to have 100% of students achieve the Acceptable Standard in both Provincial Achievement Tests and Diploma Exams. A school focus is being developed to better prepare students through a common vocabulary used in curriculum and exams. Strategies that support this focus will be the continuation of teacher participation in the TESA (Teacher Expectation Student Achievement) program and continued involvement with grade/subject colleagues through AISI (Alberta Initiatives for School Improvement) led PLC's (Professional Learning Communities). Feedback from students and parents has identified a lack of variety of courses and choices at the upper grades. Funds from a CTS (Career and Technology Studies) Project will provide Worsley Central School with renovations and equipment to augment Foods and Fashion Studies and Digital Media Studies at both the junior and senior high levels. A further phase to the project will hopefully provide introductory Construction Technology Studies courses. AISI involvement for WCS staff will continue with participation in grade/subject level PLC's, as well as workshops for Backwards Planning and Assessment. Teachers will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our Study Hall, which is meant to help students complete assignments that they have failed to hand in on time. We are developing a plan to help students succeed who show early signs of failing the year. Our professional development activities for 2008-09:
