The objective:

To introduce you to aligned and focused system, school, and teacher improvement that leads to increased student achievement.

Ontario’s education system is known for its student achievement and strategic leadership focus. PISA ranks Canada among the top 5 countries in the world – Ontario accounts for much of that ranking. Among the consistently high-achieving districts in Ontario is the York Region District School Board whose growth from below-average to excellent (as measured by EQAO using standard assessments) was driven by CEO Bill Hogarth and Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, Lyn Sharratt. Lyn’s mantra “Align – Focus – Feedback” was the foundation under the district’s singular priority of literacy – that is, increased language and mathematical literacy achievement for all students, K-12. A key component to the YRDSB strategy and to Lyn’s writing and consulting has been identifying impactful leadership strategies and qualities. Lyn knows how to transfer her Ontario experience into schools and systems here in Australia. She is doing it. Successfully. You might be surprised at how practical it is!
