NPDL Participant Commitments● Self-assessment ● Participate in Professional Learning using the
Collaborative Inquiry Cycle, the Deep Learning Competency Framework and related tools
● Participate in 2-3 cycles annually (2-year commitment)● Leverage Digital to accelerate, facilitate and deepen learning ● Provide student ratings on the Deep Learning Competency Learning Progressions
two times per year onto the Deep Learning Hub (6 marker students)● Document student achievement throughout the learning cycle and reflect in
Artifact Template● Send information letter home to parents
Sample use of release time for a PLC Learning Cycle½ Day ½ Day ½ Day ½ Day
Co-plan with deep learning in mind - how will a learning cycle be enriched with NP and 6 competencies in mind?
Pre-assessment of students related to 1 or more of the Cs using deep learning progressions. Choose target students (min 6). Document competency rating and student achievement.

Overview● Extending our Learning Culture: All staff
involved with PLTs focussed on integration of technology and assessment
● Collaboration: English, Arts, and Technology PLT members chosen to start NPDL - 2 members from each group
● Subject-specific and Cross-curricular Learning: learning together, encouraging risk-taking and sharing strategies and examples of student achievement
● Student voice: an important aspect of our school culture

NPDL & Our School Learning Journey - Reflecting Back● Natural alignment with our SIPSAW (From the WHAT to the HOW) and our transferable
skills focus through the HPED Globally Minded Learners and Leaders competencies;● Cross curricular approach at PECI (All grades and pathways):
○ The Arts, Science, Business, Math, Canadian & World Studies, and Physical Ed.● Connection with our Curriculum Services Team supports has been invaluable to support
teacher learning in the various domains;Key Staff Learning: Understand that there are innovative teaching dimensions for us to learn that would help facilitate new competencies we want our students to learn;Our Team mindset: Afford ourselves permission to try new things with a growth mindset and focus on quality of learning over quantity of content. We focused on tweaks to current practice to inspire sustainable changes in daily teaching instruction as opposed to ‘one off’ projects.
● Priority is creating a collaborative learning culture in the school ● 4 main areas of focus - literacy - numeracy - assessment - NPDL● Initially 6 teachers interested in changing teaching practice/pedagogy● 8 teachers participating this year with more interested● (3) Science, (1)Math, (1)French, (2)CWS, (1)English● Alignment with our AEAC (Academic Excellence in Applied Courses)
learning teams and SIPSAW● Support from Curriculum Co-ordinators - critical for success● Sharing with NPDL learning team, at PD days, informal classroom ● Developing growth mindset of staff and students - student and staff
engagement in learning

Reflections of Our Learning● Student Excitement and Empowerment <=>
Teacher Excitement and Empowerment● Students demonstrate passion, motivation and pride in this learning
environment => Willing to rise to the challenge of a new level● Extending our Board’s 10 Competencies ● Revision of our School Improvement plan by all teaching staff to look
at empowering students to make an impact in the class, school, community and globally

NPDL & Our School Journey - Planning Forward● Continue the NPDL skills focus either formally or informally through our school learning
culture. Innovative teaching is essential for all grades and pathways. We know that it happens most effectively when we plan, act/try, observe, reflect and share alongside one another;
● We have observed the NPDL mindset leak into other courses naturally through staff department leadership (“leading from the middle”) and teacher discourse. It is becoming ingrained in our teaching practices. We plan to more intentionally go deeper with our HPE Competencies model and use formal teacher collaboration (ie. PD days, learning teams) to grow the deep learning approach as it propels us along the learning continuum:
ENTERTAINMENT ... ENGAGEMENT ... EMPOWERMENT Passive …. Active … Ownership/Leadership
NPDL & Canadian World Studies● Year 1 Focus: CGC 1D Citizenship and Critical Thinking partnered with Green Learning
Canada to investigate the impact of climate change on PEC● Year 2 Focus: CHC2D Collaboration and Critical Thinking with student created look-fors over
two cycles (WWI and WWII)● Inquiry Project 1: Investigating the Shadow of WWI on PEC and Canada in the form of a giant
