4 years, the face of Barriere Secondary School’s Physical Education
Department has experienced much change. Upon my arrival 4 years ago, we
were met with several challenges. Some of these challenges included:
organization, structure and common expectations. It was evident the
students of Barriere Secondary were solid athletes with strong
potential. However, it was also obvious the students of Barriere Secondary
School lacked knowledge and a standard level of fitness. The PE program
was failing to provide this for them.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Within
my first year, both physical fitness testing and knowledge development
of fitness was introduced through an age and grade progressive process.
We introduced standardized fitness testing which consisted of: </span><br />
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<li style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Muscular Endurance</span></li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cardiovascular Endurance</span></li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Muscular Strength</span></li>

<li style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Body Composition. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We
triangulated data by using student, school and National based scores.
This ensured our data was accurate and meaningful. Twice a month,
students are tested and the best results are posted in the gym for each
fitness component. This strategy began to build a healthy
competitiveness among students as well as a sense of pride and
achievement in students improving their overall health. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The
introduction of a progressive fitness planning unit helped students
develop an understanding of the body and how its systems are linked to
fitness. Fitness knowledge and planning are essential learning outcomes
in Physical Education 8-12. Assessing these outcomes required a system
which focused on learning outcomes as opposed to participation, effort
and attendance of students. The PE department did not have a consistent
and sound practice of assessment. This method of assessment challenged
both the students ideas of “gym” as well as department assessment
practices. We had to learn a more efficient and accurate type of
assessment which assessed for learning and was more closely linked to
the goals of a program. We have observed that both the method of
assessment along with fitness testing directly and positively affected
our school programs, both athletically and academically. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It
was hypothesized that fitness levels were linked to achievement, and 4
years ago Barriere Secondary held the unfortunate title as one of the
lowest achieving schools in British Columbia. As the PE department head,
I wanted to do what I could to help students become more successful. In
the first year of teaching at Barriere Secondary, the fitness levels
were incredibly low. We were confident that exposing students to a
higher standard and setting the expectation of achievement as a culture
within the school, students would strive to excel. Now in the fourth
year, we can honestly say any of our top fitness achievers can compete
against any high-school student in British Columbia!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The
PE department of Barriere Secondary prides itself on accurately
portraying both the Provincial Governments’ Mandate for Physical
Education programming as well as a reflection of the needs of a rural
school and community. The strength of the PE program is based on common
expectations for participation, a variety of programming and activity,
and a consistent structure for program delivery. It is my sincere
belief, that although there are high standards for this program, the
students of Barriere Secondary continue to challenge themselves to
achieve. I am proud to be a teacher at Barriere Secondary School and
have been blessed to be a part of such a dynamic community.</span><br />

Often it is easy to unfairly criticize the current public educational system. It is easy to look for all that Barriere Secondary School does not offer.However, for the past two weeks it is hard not to see all the great things taking place at this small rural school. </span></div>

</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Literacy Enhancement Initiative </span> </div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Barriere Secondary School 2011</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"> <b>Overview</b></div><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> Barriere Secondary School has over the past three years embarked upon an initiative to regularly assess students’ ability to read and write. Assessments have been scheduled for early in the year, then again in the middle of the year and finally at the end of the year for the grade 8 students and in the middle and end of the academic year for the grade 9’s. These assessments are separate from the learning area assessments undertaken by teachers in their own subject areas of Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, English and the like. Reading and writing skills have as a consequence been seen holistically as a cross-curricular skill that is important for all learning.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> Teachers are given time to mark the student test papers in collaboration, where strict protocols are followed regarding moderation and consensus. A small spread of test papers are marked and then cross-marked, differences between markers are conferenced and consensus is achieved through a referral back to the exemplars, the grade related descriptors and if needed a moderator. Here in this process lies a significant benefit as teachers across the curriculum become familiar with strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats presented in the student results.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> Having marked the papers collaboratively teachers then develop an action plan with clear indicators as to how the strengths and opportunities can be enhanced and the weaknesses and threats minimized. Not surprisingly each year group over the past three years have been showing differing strengths and shortcomings. Each in turn has prompted a different action plan response. Some responses are applicable across the group and other strategies for enhancement have had to be tailored to the individual needs of students experiencing difficulties.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b>Reading 2011 October Grade 8 </b> </div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> By way of illustration the October 2011, grade 8 results showed solid strengths; most students were able to successfully integrate quotes from the materials read to support their claims, there was a strong sense of thematic understanding and appreciation of the passages read. The question asked students to refer to both passages, which generally they were able to do, many took advantage of the opportunity to “chunk” their reading and predict what was coming. These are solid reading strategies which enhance engagement with the text and heighten comprehension of key ideas in the reading.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> <br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> Weaknesses were evident too; although this first weakness was more a test-taking problem in that there was poor management of the time. Many students ran out of time and were unable to complete the test given. Two blocks (75 minutes each) were provided, one for reading and one for writing. A number of students engaged in the <b>Before </b>reading and <b>During</b> reading strategies and then never capitalized on this pre-reading work to demonstrate their understanding in the subsequent writing that was asked of them. The challenge for teachers is to ensure that the reading process is not undervalued as the final demonstration of what was read and understood is demonstrated in the written response.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> <br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> As an action plan was prepared, teachers agreed to highlight for students the full spread of strategies that can be employed by readers and move beyond the “chunking” and “predicting” and include contextual cuing, imaging, questioning, annotations, re-reading and more. Discussions too about how readers could better identify the links between the texts read and the relevance of the ideas and events in the text to their own lives, trying to personalize the text and see the relevance of the theme to them in their lives. Seeing links between two texts too is a higher order reading skill and needs supporting with strategies (eg use of T-chart note-taking). It was agreed among teachers that students need to be given more time and further clarification of test culture. What is it that is valued in a test needs to be explored with students. </div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> <br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b>Writing 2011 October Grade 8</b></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> <br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> The first and most notable strength of student work in the writing outcome is that every student bar one attempted to write a response. Students had a clear preference for the personal voice and wrote for the most part in the narrative mode and in the first person. Adjectives enhanced much of the descriptive writing and students have a rudimentary appreciation of style and the need to dress up their narrative a little. For the most part they have been on task and have focused on the prompt provided.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> <br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"> Weaknesses included a lack of attention to the basic mechanics (spelling, punctuation and clarity of sentences), students need to take a risk and experiment with plot lines and character development a little more, especially if indeed they wish to focus on narrative writing. The focus on narrative only was a weakness, students were invited to write in the expository, descriptive and persuasive modes too and these options were all but ignored completely. Many students may well have faired much better had they chosen differently. It might be simply that they are unclear as to what it means to write in this mode and this of course has implications for the teaching staff. It was agreed in the action plan to model and expose students to a broader range of writing forms eg letters to the editor, personal letters, feature articles, evaluations, opinion pieces, blog entries and more. Also it was discussed that students need to be encouraged to move beyond safe, predictable story-lines and characters and take risks. Reader engagement with the narrative could be heightened as a result.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b>In Closing</b></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b> </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">There are significant benefits for teachers and for students when regular, quality assessments are made of student reading and writing ability. Barriere Secondary is still learning about how best to administer and construct these literacy assessments. Over time we are confident our successes with enhancing literacy levels will be improved and student appreciation and their sense of pride in showing what they can do when asked to demonstrate reading and writing abilities </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">will also be enhanced. We are also keen to conduct tests at the Grade 9 level which are more refined than the Grade 8 test in that the results can pin-point more precisely the range of reading and writing skills that are evident within any student’s repertoire of skill and or understanding.</span></div>Jonathan Bradyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07549045834049156719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2277773323865693645.post-68151425043556624972011-09-23T13:56:00.000-07:002011-09-23T13:56:20.772-07:002011-2012 Initatives<style type="text/css">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The 2011-2012 school year at Barriere has many reasons to be excited. In spite of the challenges that lie ahead of us, we have strong plans to move forward with our three year growth plan.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Goal #1</span> </b> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>To improve students' academic achievement in all courses in all grade levels.</b></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">We are continuing to move ahead with staff collaborative time. We have adjusted the model slightly to allow teachers more flexiblity in whom they meet with and the topics they discuss. Because we are a small school, we have most teachers instructing multiple subject. Therefore, we have tried to create a model that will allow like subject teachers to collaborate with their peers for a flexible period of time. In addition, we continue to provide a block of time for student support. This year we have:</div><ul><li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Grade 12: Complteting their Graduation Transitions course.</div></li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Grade 11: Involved with the Big Brother / Sister program and homework completion.</div></li>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">On May 18, 2011, Mr. Hall, Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Russett, and 2 students met with Karl deBruijn (Assistant Superintendent), Joanne Stokes (School Trustee), and John Harwood (School Trustee) and presented our 2011-2014 School Growth Plan. The focus of our conversations was on our literacy initiative and involving parents and community in our school. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The Literacy initiative includes:</div><ul><li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Examining our students in grades 8 and 9 to determine their reading comprehension and writing skills. </div></li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Collaborative marking sessions to determine the strengths, weaknesses and developing an action plan.</div></li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Development of instructional strategies to use in our classes to improve our students' skills.</div></li>
</ul><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Increasing our students' literacy proficiency is a focus for staff in order to have students improve their achievement rates. In addition, we assess individual students' progress in order to provide supports for struggling students. The exam is performed at the beginning, middle and end of the school year to track the progress of our students. We also track their improvement from grade to grade. The literacy exam is a unique characteristic of our school and one that staff is proud. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We have changed our focus from a social responsibility goal to a parental and community involvement goal for a variety of reasons. We believe, from our data, the behaviour of our students is improving and the issues with social responsibility can be dealt with through different avenues. As a school, we have a desire to improve the level of involvement and communication with parents and the community. There are many technologies we have available in order to improve the level of communication and we need to make use of them to inform parents about different aspects of the school.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Overall, the meeting went well. Our plan is unique to Barriere Secondary and is one that staff, students and parents can work together to achieve.</div>Jonathan Bradyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07549045834049156719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2277773323865693645.post-64637926906059687142011-04-27T15:01:00.000-07:002011-04-27T15:02:00.227-07:00Goal #1<h3 style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 0in; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Bitstream Vera Sans"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #00FF; mso-fareast-language: #00FF;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">Goal # 1</span></u></span></h3><div align="center" class="list-western" style="margin: 5pt 0in 0pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 0in; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "serif";"><strong>To improve students' academic achievement in all courses in all grade levels</strong>.</span></div><div align="center" class="list-western" style="margin: 5pt 0in 0pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 0in; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in;"><br />
