Our Education Plan
Division Faith Goal - High Quality Catholic Education
Division Faith Goal:
A Catholic Christian
Identity in a
High-Quality
Catholic Education
System, has one
outcome: Provide
opportunities for our
Jesus Christ in an explicitly Catholic environment throughout the division.
Our Education Plan
The plan consists of five goals: a faith goal for our division, as well as four other goals mandated by Alberta Education. For each goal, we specify what outcomes we want to achieve, what strategies we will use to achieve the outcomes, what targets we want to reach, and what measures we will use to assess our progress.
Alberta's Education system is continually seeking improvement. There are new professional practice standards for teachers, principals and system leaders, a major curriculum program renewal, a high school flexibility initiative, and new legislation and commitments to making schools caring, safe, and welcoming. Over the upcoming school year, ECACS will be engaging key stakeholders through community feedback activities. This engagement feedback will be used to develop Division and School Assurance Plans that align to the Division’s vision, mission, and values while adhering to the provincial goals, outcomes, and performance measures.
