ACOA will officially announce the Community-Supported Education Coordinator position Friday August 2nd. We have therefore decided to extend the deadline for applications to Friday, August 9th.
Annual General Meeting of Sackville 20/20 is coming up on May 30th. Everyone Welcome!
There are many benefits associated with K-12 schools. In the SS2020 vision, with new schools within a short distance from one another in a campus, resources can be shared, peer teaching and learning opportunities are strengthened, and teacher collaboration spanning grades is made possible, among other things.
A Sustainability Study of Sackville’s 3 schools is about to begin. The DEC has scheduled three public meetings as part of the formal consultation process, and all members of the community are encouraged to take part.
In the effort to make Sackville's public school system the best it can be, it's worthwhile to examine successful models that exist elsewhere for ideas. There has been much written lately about the successes of the Finnish education system, in which students and teachers are thriving, so let's take a closer look at some of the features that stand out about Finnish schools.
For many months now, we have been researching various approaches to education and the types of places where effective teaching and learning takes place. It is no secret that the most effective schools are places that are bright, clean, functional, and warm, and students and teachers thrive when they are there. Sackville students and teachers deserve facilities that meet these goals.
The time is here for a new model of public education for Sackville students. There are two main reasons that Sackville Schools 2020 came into being. First of all, two of the three K-12 public school facilities in Sackville are in need of a large investment of money in order to repair the issues they face. Secondly, the public school system is under review across the country and we want this community to have a voice in creating a 21st century model that meets the needs of our children.
