If you have any questions please contact Rabbi Greenwald.

"What is the kindest compliment you can give your mom after she makes your dinner?" The students of Akiva filled out  questionnaires related to the theme of Positivity IN Speech and Actions. They read through questions and multiple choice answers, figuring out the most positive ways to address frequent situations. The students answers were polled and we played a game in which the Olympic groups needed to figure out what the majority vote was for each question. In the upcoming two weeks ahead the Student Council will run many activities involving students in positive speech and actions. Please feel free to discuss the theme and attached questionnaire with your children. Our students decorated their classroom doors with amazing creativity. Judges Enrique, Ms. Bascones and Mrs. Lapid had a very tough time choosing a winner as all the doors were so incredible! Mazel Tov to Grade 6 and Rabbi Goldenberg upon winning the door decorating contest! Looking forward to a positively amazing program!

What is the Accountability Pillar?

The Accountability Pillar is a set of 16 performance measures developed to help jurisdictions assess their performance and progress in the delivery of educational outcomes to students. Included are survey measures in the Accountability Pillar survey, Provincial Achievement Tests, Diploma Examination results, and measures like High School Completion, Drop-Out Rates and Transition to Post-secondary.

  

As an annual check-up on the education system, the Accountability Pillar provides an opportunity for Alberta Education and school authorities to ensure that we are equipping students for success.

 

The Accountability Pillar uses a set of 16 indicators. Data on these indicators consists of surveys of students, parents and teachers on various aspects of education quality, student outcomes such as dropout and high school completion rates, and provincial assessments of student learning.

 

From January to the end of February, Alberta Education will be conducting the annual Accountability Pillar Survey.  

All surveys are anonymous and ask questions about experiences with your school.

 

Your participation in the survey helps provide important information on the quality of education your child is receiving, so we encourage you to return your survey promptly.

 

Survey results will be available to school authorities in May 2018, and will be reported publicly as part of their 3-Year Education Plans and Annual Education Results Reports.
