Overview
Alberta’s future prosperity rests on our ability to support a well-educated workforce that is responsive to change. Among the key priorities of the provincial education system is to ensure all of our students are successful – both in school, work and life.
Outcomes
High School programming in Alberta focuses on 3 outcomes:
- engaged students
- high levels of achievement
- quality teaching
Ensuring a focus on student-centred learning happens when high schools put in place a number of key foundational principles.
Foundational principles
All foundational principles are interconnected. To meet the needs of their school communities high schools may need to focus on one or more.
Successful high schools
Schools have implemented strategies and foundational practices aimed at transforming the high school experience for students and teachers through changes to one or more of these areas.
HSC Strategic Framework
To assist Alberta school authorities in successfully increasing their high school completion rates, Alberta Education designed the High School Completion (HSC) Strategic Framework around 5 areas for action:
Resources
- High School Completion Strategic Framework 5 STARting Points
