b'PRINCIPALS MESSAGE SARAH BRUCEThe 2019-2020 school year was our fourth under the guidance of our current strategic plan. The plan was developed with the goal of enhancing Greenwoods ability to provide a customized learning experience for students and encouraging the building of character and community. Six priorities for Greenwood over the coming years were identified; I am happy to report on our ongoing progress in all of these areas.1 Invest in the Greenwood Centre for Teaching and Learning2019-2020 brought more evidence that teachers are embracing a coaching approach to their teaching. Each teacher is asked to develop goals based on the academic and community focus for the year and to set clear goals for student learning. This approach has resulted in high engagement and collaboration among teachers. Teachers who have been at the school for seven years or more once again had the opportunity to explore a research question throughout the year that deepens their expertise and their focus on student learning. Our Teaching and Learning resource website was also further enhanced with new modules and resources. When the school moved online in March, Mary Gauthier, the Centres Executive Director, and Heather Maxted, Expert Teacher, conducted classroom observations and surveyed teachers about what was working in the online model and where more support was needed. Mary also worked with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and the Canadian Coaching Centre to offer a webinar series entitled Developing a Coaching Culture in Schools, which featured many Greenwood staff members as guest speakers.Greenwood Annual Report 2019/2020 3'
