During the regular board meeting held on May 20, 2021, the board of trustees approved the Peace River School Division (PRSD) 2022-2025 Education Plan. The plan outlines the division’s goals, strategies, performance measures, capital plan and budget information.

The PRSD Education Plan highlights three overarching priorities:

                ● Literacy Development/Achievement
                ● Numeracy Development/Achievement
                ● Inclusionary and Responsive Culture

PRSD’s overarching priorities are supported by various strategies and performance measures outlined in the PRSD Education Plan with a consistent focus on Collaborative Response and Response to Intervention.

“Collaborative Response is rooted in the foundation of collaboration among staff, data-informed decisions, frequent and formative assessment practices, and timely intervention to ensure students are experiencing their full potential” says PRSD Board Chair Darren Kuester. “Response to Intervention is a highly regarded system that identifies student strengths, learning styles and specific learning needs and supports the success of all learners regardless of age, ability or special needs.”

Specific areas of focus outlined in the Education Plan include literacy, numeracy, Inclusive Education initiatives, services and supports for students with complex and special needs, student mental health and wellness, technology in the classroom, Indigenous Education and professional development for staff.
