School^Plus Initiatives

• School^PLUS Shared Leadership Institute

School^PLUS officially became a policy direction of government when Securing Saskatchewan's Future, Ensuring the Well Being and Educational Success of Saskatchewan's Children and Youth: Provincial Response - Role of the School Task Force Final Report, was released in February 2002.  

School^Plus is a province-wide initiative led by Ministry of Education and the provincial education system that promotes learning success and well-being for every child and young person.  It envisions a province where every school is actively improving student outcomes through the delivery of a strong learning program and serving as a centre for social, health and other services for children and their families.

School^PLUS is a broad-based, long-term change based on principles of shared responsibility, holistic approaches, equity and excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement and sustainability.  It is built on a foundation of effective practices. 

School^PLUS schools:

• are welcoming, caring and respectful;
• actively engage youth, families and communities;
• focus on providing every student with access to high quality learning opportunities, reaching out to those who have left the school system;
• are centres of integrated supports for children, youth and families to strengthen both educational success and well-being;
• support effective transitions into and through the education system, and to post-secondary education and the labour market; and,
• use resources available to them such as enhanced technology and e-learning.

The School^PLUSJourney is evident in the work undertaken by three School^PLUS Leadership  working tables initiated in the winter of 2004.  These tables have been working to advance School^PLUS leadership in the areas of :

• Pre-Service;
• In-Service; and,
• Community and Youth Leadership.
