When we surveyed our students, we asked them to share what they considered to be 'stretches' or areas they wanted to strengthen. We noticed a pattern in the area of literacy and SEL.

Our data indicates a need to strengthen literacy strategies and supports. We checked our student feedback with term two learning updates. We found alignment with what students shared and teacher descriptive feedback and proficiency scale data.

Here is some of what our students have identified as areas they would like to strengthen:

“talking in front of the class”

“Communicating with new people, making new friends, talking in front of lots of people”

“I get shy when I talk to people”

“I have problems socializing with people I am not close with”

“making friends”

“focusing and remembering”

“making more friends”

“I am working on getting better at working with people that I don’t know very well”

“I am working on getting better at including others into my friend group”

“Sometimes I am not very patient”
