The Connected Learning Networks provides principals with access to six StatsCan indicators:
- Household Income,
- Single Parent Families,
- Without High School Diploma,
- With Post Secondary Education,
- Receiving Government Transfers, and
- Aboriginal Decent.
The tool supports a school's ability to understand the demographic composition of their community. The data assists principals with planning and decision making that is more specific to their demographic context. The long term goal of this project will be to provide the opportunity for schools across the region to partner themselves with like schools based on this demographic data to share strategies they have implemented within their schools. Two boards within the region are currently piloting this project.
