Support, Know and Inspire our Students
Following our long range plan commitment to support, know and inspire all of our students, the Middle/Senior School Professional Development activities in late August were decidedly focused on how we personalize learning in the classroom.
Faculty participated in a Design Learning activity which challenged them to envision how teaching and learning will change at CDS over the next few years as we continue the work of diversifying our instructional strategies, the content of our curricula, and our support and assessment methods to create an overall approach that focuses on knowing each student and advancing how students learn.
Faculty undertook a Faculty Survey on Differentiation, which will help us identify our areas of strength, as well as our next steps for improvement. Building on work completed in the latter half of last year, departments worked collaboratively to create new Enrichment policies that will ensure our advanced learners are challenged, inspired and supported on their academic journey through CDS.
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
