艾里卡·雷校长谈到康诺特学校将如何利用课堂改进基金

2017年10月13日，阿尔伯塔省总理雷切尔·诺特利（Rachel Notley）参观了康诺特学校，以引起人们对学校今年提供给阿尔伯塔省学校的7500万加元用于改善学生学习成果的注意。学校董事会和教师们有权根据自身需要自由地使用课堂改进基金（CIF）。除了创造就业机会外，今年学校还综合整合了许多其他的项目和改进措施。其中包括支持读写能力和数学能力的项目、关于包容教育的专业发展以及帮助学生的设备。

“我们对分配这笔额外资金的合作方式感到满意，并且感激能够让学校自由获得满足其学生独特需求的正确资源的灵活性，”卡加利教育局（Calgary Board of Education）的首席学监戴维·史蒂文森（David Stevenson）表示。“CIF将提供的资源，包括额外的教师和支持员工，将在促进我们的学生和他们的学习方面发挥重要作用。”

卡加利教育局的这一过程是合作的，涉及学校董事会、ATA代表和政府的工作。在讨论过程中，学生在课堂上的需求始终是重点。每所学校的提案都代表了与学校工作人员的协商，并持续致力于学生的成功。

在卡加利教育局的学校中，1300万加元的课堂改进基金将用于以下方面：

• 读写能力；
• 数学能力；
• 原住民教育；
• 高中成功；
• 心理健康；
• 英语学习和；
• 包容实践。

这些资金必须在2017-2018学年结束时使用完毕。

Connaught School Principal Erica Rae talks about how her school will use the Classroom Improvement Fund

Premier Rachel Notley visited Connaught School on Oct. 13, 2017 to draw attention to the $75 million provided to Alberta schools this year to improve learning outcomes for students. School boards and teachers were given flexibility to use the Classroom Improvement Fund (CIF) as they see fit. In addition to new jobs being created, a number of other programs and improvement have been incorporated into schools this year. This includes programs to support literacy and numeracy, professional development on inclusive education and equipment to assist students.

“We are pleased with the collaborative approach taken to allocate this additional funding, and grateful for the flexibility that allows schools to acquire the right resources to meet the unique needs of their students,” said David Stevenson, chief superintendent of schools for the Calgary Board of Education. “The resources that the CIF will provide, including additional teachers and support staff, will go a long way to support our students and their learning.”

This CBE process was collaborative and involved the work of school boards, ATA representatives and government. Each step of the way, student needs in the classroom were kept at the forefront of discussion. Each school’s proposal represented consultation with school staff and continued commitment to student success.

In CBE schools, the $13 million CIF will be supporting:

• Literacy;
• Mathematics;
• Aboriginal Education;
• High School Success;
• Mental Health;
• English Language Learning and,
• Inclusive Practice.

The funds must be spent by the end of the 2017-18 school year.
