How has this development impacted our students?
1. The breadth and depth of specialist programming
Physical Education Music Resource-based Learning French

3. Teaching – Learning Process Teachers “stretched” across grades Teachers “stretched” across subject
areas Teacher isolation Lack of administrative direction and
support
![Page 9: Eastern School District School Organization Plan Public Presentation Morell Family of Schools March 25, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d145503460f949e8d49/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
4. Student Diversity Children’s social and emotional
development may be affected by split classes and soon, triple-graded classes
![Page 10: Eastern School District School Organization Plan Public Presentation Morell Family of Schools March 25, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d145503460f949e8d49/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why are we concerned?
Student Achievement
Student Improvement
Literacy – Numeracy standards increasing
![Page 11: Eastern School District School Organization Plan Public Presentation Morell Family of Schools March 25, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d145503460f949e8d49/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What should we do?
Focus on the teaching – learning process
Emphasize structured and explicit teaching methods aimed at specific skill development in reading, writing and mathematics
![Page 12: Eastern School District School Organization Plan Public Presentation Morell Family of Schools March 25, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d145503460f949e8d49/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is the best way to do it? At least 2 teachers per grade Single graded classrooms 15-20 students grade 1-3, 20-25
students grade 4-6 Strong student support and
specialist programs Within grade teacher collaboration
and administrative leadership and support
