Le premier objectif de l'enquête consiste à développer la capacité régionale et le leadership en numératie. Le second objectif consiste à examiner et à raffiner le modèle d'apprentissage professionnel déjà en place et la mise en œuvre du modèle en lien avec l'engagement des divers apprenantes et apprenants au sein de la communauté d'apprentissage (par exemple les élèves, le personnel enseignant, les directions d'école et les leaders en numératie), et ce, tant au niveau des communautés d'apprentissage professionnel d'une école qu'au niveau des réseaux d'apprentissage professionnel élargis.

Dans cette webémission, vous verrez une enseignante qui questionne ses élèves en tenant compte entre autres des attentes du programme d'études, de l'enseignement explicite et différencié. De plus, par son questionnement, elle intègre la conversation et vérifie la compréhension de ses élèves. L'enseignante est pleinement présente et active dans le cycle d'enseignement et d'apprentissage. Lorsque vous regardez cette webémission, réfléchissez aux questions et aux décisions délibérées de l'enseignante qui engagent ses élèves sur la voie du succès. April 2009 |

From the LNS "What Works? Research Into Practice" series comes Research Monograph #2 March 2007 "There has been a significant shift in the instruction of mathematics over the past two decades. This shift has occurred in response to growing evidence that students were learning how to apply mathematics rules without a real understanding of the mathematics. A particularly disconcerting observation was that student difficulties often stemmed from our longstanding traditional methods of mathematics instruction". |

From the LNS "Capacity Building" series comes Secretariat Special Edition #3 on Professional Learning Communities: A Model for Ontario Schools October 2007 The ultimate goal of a professional learning community (PLC) can be summed up in three words: improved student achievement. Although the term has grown to encompass a wide variety of concepts and practices, a professional learning community is always a group of people who are motivated by a vision of learning and who support one another toward that end. A PLC: • represents a collective effort to enhance student learning • promotes and sustains the learning of all professionals in the school • builds knowledge through inquiry • analyses and uses data
for reflection and improvement |
