"The Saskatchewan Ministry of Education is guided by a Student First approach in which students’ strengths, needs and interests are central to inclusive educational experiences for learning. Inclusive opportunities promote increased understanding and acceptance of diversity within the classroom, school and the community.

Inclusive education provides students with an opportunity to learn with age appropriate peers within schools in their home communities. An inclusive environment is welcoming and accepting of student interests, backgrounds and life experiences." (p. 2)

This self-reflection tool is designed to ensure that teaching practices are aligned with Structure Literacy. The user is encouraged to note (by checking off the boxes) all areas they are currently putting into practice. The completed reflection can then be used with the principal or the leadership team to set targets for professional learning, professional growth, and/or a plan for Structured Literacy implementation.  The goal is to ensure all areas identified are implemented within the classroom. Adopted from The Reading League’s Curriculum Evaluation Tool https://www.thereadingleague.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Curriculum-Evaluation-Tool-August-2020.pdf

This is a resource created by the Speech-Language Pathologists working in the Sun West School Division. We are all in uncharted territory right now with school closures and finding the best way to support students to ensure that their needs are met during this time away from school.

We thought the easiest way to connect with all of you would be to make this general website that includes information about what exactly speech and language includes and how we can work together to support your children at this time. This website includes the basics of articulation (speech), language, fluency, and AAC. It also includes some general ideas for ways to work on these skills at home.

If you would like some specific handouts, worksheets, or have any questions you can contact the SLP who works at your school directly by email.

This webinar presentation, which will be delivered in English, will enable participants to understand the different types of stress, our brain’s response to stress, as well as how to adopt positive mental health hygiene practices.

"The Student Transitions Guide is intended to provide school staff in Saskatchewan a framework to support students who are transitioning to a new school. This document explains the correlation between transition to new schools and reduced levels of achievement. It also outlines the importance of supporting new students, helps schools identify if a student needs support, what may be required and an action plan that will assist schools.
There may be local considerations that are not included. It is strongly recommended that each school in Saskatchewan develop a local student transition protocol to provide the best opportunity for success for all the new students in their school." (p.2)

It is critically important to acknowledge, however, that interpersonal violence is not the only source of trauma. Trauma can be experienced as a result of structural violence, or experiences that happen to children because of who they are, how they live, and lack of opportunities.

The following optional meeting templates have been developed to support Triads in their meeting structure.  The first template follows the Collaborative Learning Cycle, and provides teams with the opportunity to explore and solve a concern or issue.  The second template is provided for teams to use as they follow up the plan they have created using the first template. A set of guiding questions has also been provided to support your work, and guide your thinking throughout your meetings. These templates and questions were created by the Mini SALT Team. Please feel free to reach out to any of the members for support if needed.
