Greystone Centennial Middle School's Development Plan is an integral component of our school accountability and assurance. This plan is an extension of the Parkland School Division Education Plan, which sets out educational priorities and outcomes within the domains of education, while outlining the Division's Vision, Mission, Values, Ultimate Goal and Priorities. A strong plan implements strategies to maintain or improve student learning and achievement - while monitoring and adjusting as needed - and to help the school and division in making evidence-based decisions.
Development Plan
Greystone Development Plan 2025-2026 Greystone Development Plan Results Report 2023-2024
Every Parkland School Division school has evaluated their progress from last year in a Development Plan Results Report, using internal data, survey results, and Assurance survey results.
The goal of the Development Plan is to outline the strategies the school will follow for the school year, based on their Area(s) of Focus, with the goal of improving their practices and achieving their desired state - one that aligns with the Division's Mission, Vision and Values.
By participating in Alberta Education’s Assurance Model, our school and our stakeholders are actively engaged in the development of our own local priorities and plans. Our development plan allows us to remain simultaneously forward-thinking and responsive to stakeholder concerns.
Area of Focus
As a result of the ongoing conversations with our Greystone Centennial Middle School community and the continual analysis of students data, we have developed a plan that focuses on 3 areas for the upcoming school year. The development plan is an extension of the Parkland School Division Education Plan, which sets out educational priorities and assurance elements within the domains of education, while outlining the Division's Vision, Mission, Values, Ultimate Goal and Priorities.
Area of Focus 1 - Expanding Student Success in Literacy and Numeracy - REFINED
Under the first outcome of the PSD Education Plan - Students and Staff Demonstrate Success, we will focus on increasing teacher capacity and student performance in literacy and numeracy.
Area of Focus 2 - Students Social-Emotional Development - CONTINUED
Also under Outcome 2 of the PSD Education plan, we will be continuing to focus on Student Development of their Social-Emotional Skills to help increase Mental and physical well-being.
Area of Focus 3 - Improve Student Utility of School - NEW
Under the first outcome of the PSD Education Plan - Students and Staff Demonstrate Success, we will aim to improve student perception of the utility of school, or usefulness of school. We will do this by improving community building opportunities within our school, seeking ways to make learning in both our core subject and complementary courses more authentic and relevant to students and their lives.
