Heading Down the Highway… Thank You!

From The Throne Speech “The transformational force of knowledge and technology is reinventing our world. The new world is truly a global economy, driven by information, ideas, and discoveries. It is a creative economy, where art and culture are the building blocks of innovation, invention, and understanding. Your government wants to unleash the talent, creativity, and skills of all who live here. Education is the key to that endeavour.” “The transformational force of knowledge and technology is reinventing our world.

The Challenge As a result, rural students may be denied important educational choices enjoyed by students in urban centres. Classroom-based education does not provide, in itself, sufficient flexibility to meet the learning needs of all BC students. Schools in rural communities may have great difficulty offering a range of courses. Distributed Learning: The Challenge

A Time of Transition… Distributed Learning: A Time of Transition

New options for learning accessible from school or home Full range of courses enabling students to construct high quality, relevant programs of instruction open for learning at any time, at any pace, and from any place Free on-line tutoring for secondary students From the Throne Speech The Virtual School

A progressive management style that:  encourages collaborative decision making  moves more decisions about resource utilization to the school level  focuses on student achievement A progressive management style that:  encourages collaborative decision making  moves more decisions about resource utilization to the school level  focuses on student achievement Student Centered Leadership

Commitments Early Learning Centres  14 pilots  Contracts with Boards Community Literacy  Success of Literacy Now  Focus on Reading Libraries  Every Child A Card  Virtual Reference – Ask Away

Commitments Healthy Schools  No Junk Food  Action Schools  Physical Fitness Safe Schools  Substance Abuse Trades Training  Shortage of Skilled Labour  Dual Credit  Apprenticeship Programs

32 of 60 Superintendents have been in their current positions for less than 15 months. It is projected that close to 1,000 principals and vice principals may retire over the next five years. Government established the British Columbia Education Leadership Council, a not-for-profit society, in March 2005 and provided a $5M grant. 32 of 60 Superintendents have been in their current positions for less than 15 months.

BCELC holds its resources in trust on behalf of the entire public education system to prepare leaders for roles in districts and schools. To this point over 250 new and aspiring leaders have benefited from two programs sponsored by BCELC:  CSML – a graduate certificate program in school leadership developed in partnership with UVIC.  A Seminar Series – 12 days of cohort based activity in topics related to school leadership.

Leadership and Succession

But…BCELC needs your support and attention.  Support for development of your leaders.  Sharing of district resources in leadership development.  Funding to supplement the finite resources of BCELC. Think about this - $2 per student would provide a revenue stream of over $1M per year to support leadership development to assist all districts.
