Division Priorities
The highest priority for Red Deer Public Schools is the success of every child in school.
Our Division Education Plan reflects the vision, priorities and values of our community and our aspirations for all students to reach their full potential in learning and life. The highest priority for the Division is the success of each and every student we welcome into our schools. “Your Children, Our Students, Everyone’s Future” speaks to our entire community having a vested interest in having a strong and stable public school education system where families have choice in their education. We want our students to discover the possibilities at Red Deer Public Schools.
This year’s Education Plan focuses on expanded priorities that align with the Alberta Education Assurance Domains, which include:
- Student Growth & Achievement
- Teaching & Leading
- Learning Supports
- Governance.
The fifth Alberta Education Assurance Domain, Local and Societal Context, encompasses all of the aforementioned areas. These priorities are accompanied by Strategies and Performance Measures that will set the strategic direction for Red Deer Public Schools in the coming years.
Ensuring students are ready for the future by providing them with access to authentic, hands-on experiential learning in their areas of passion will be a focus for the Division. We want students to get an excellent education, while having the opportunity to pursue their passions. Students can discover many possibilities at Red Deer Public Schools whether it be languages, fine arts, athletics, trade options, robotics, mechanics, welding, clubs, and so much more.
