As the lead learner of the Algoma District School Board, I am proud to share the
2024 Director’s Report and to celebrate another year of confident learners, caring citizens in action. From the Boardroom to the Classroom, we maintain our focus on the core of our work: student achievement, equity and well-being.
In August, our system leaders engaged in professional learning with Dr. Michael Fullan who shared examples of the relentless and collaborative work that we, in education, undertake to ensure students become “good at learning, good at life.” His words – like our mission statement – acknowledge we must foster deep and authentic learning, such that we are not only connecting our students to the world, but helping them see themselves in it, and providing opportunities for them to be contributing to it.
Throughout this report, you will see positive, caring, and welcoming places to work, learn and succeed. You will see quality, innovative programs and learning opportunities that allow our students to demonstrate their learning while developing, promoting, and celebrating good character and responsible citizenship, locally and beyond. No one succeeds alone, and we are most grateful for the many stakeholders and community partners who support and contribute to our students’ success. Together, we make a difference!
We have a pathway for every student, so as you explore these pages, I’m sure you will discover that whether students are learning through cooking, robotics, arts, construction, drumming, athletics, co-operative learning, music or in another language, they are engaged in learning and in developing themselves. This report provides a snapshot of the exciting learning and character development that happens every day across our district and reflects the commitment and dedication of our staff, who keep student achievement, equity and well-being at the forefront of all we do. I trust that as you review the report, you will understand why we are so Proud to be … ADSB!
