February Spectrum

as the information parents provide is inte-gral to the school improvement process.

Another opportunity to provide feedback about the school and how well we are doing is to attend school council meetings. If you have never attended a council meeting, I encourage you to attend one to connect with other parents, learn a little more about what is happening in the school and in the edu-cational landscape in Alberta generally, and to provide your thoughts regarding school improvement. The primary responsibility of school councils is to provide support to and advice to school administration on matters relating to school operations. Our school council does a fantastic job of fulfilling that role, and any parent can participate by attending council meetings and supporting council activities. Consult the calendar on the school website and in each newsletter to see when upcoming council meetings are.

On another note, this is the last Spectrum that our present communication coordina-tor, Tyler Deezar, is responsible for. Tyler’s internship is coming to an end on January 30. I have appreciated Tyler’s expertise and am thankful for all of his efforts on the school’s behalf. Good luck in your future endeavours, Tyler. Chris Dittmann will be taking over the responsibilities of communi-cation coordinator – welcome back, Chris!

Principal’s Message

There are two important surveys that are being made available to parents in

January and February: the accountability pillar and school evaluation surveys. The accountability pillar surveys were mailed out to the households of all CSS parents in January. The surveys provide valuable information that is used by the school to inform our planning processes and by the

government in their public reporting on school performance. The school evaluation survey, which is an on-line survey that will be made available to all CSS parents in the first few days of February, provides informa-tion for the Alberta Education school evalu-ation team. The evaluation is a welcome opportunity for external feedback on school operations and performance. More informa-tion on the school evaluation can be found in an article later in this Spectrum. Please take a few moments to complete the surveys,

The featured speaker at our February meeting is Shannon Mitchell-Flek. She’ll be talking about bully-

ing, one of the “top 10” topics selected by parents via our most recent annual parent survey. For those unable to attend the meeting, look for Shannon’s presentation to be posted on the Student Services – Counselling page of the CSS website. We’ll also be tweeting live during her presenta-tion. Note - There was some discussion at the December meeting about offering a virtual attendance option for this presenta-tion. After looking into this possibility a little more, we decided not to go the virtual route at this time, primarily due to associ-ated costs and a steep learning curve.

Spring is not far off. The May and June outdoor education trips, soccer, baseball and other outdoor activities tend to fill up the family calendar pretty quickly. So if you haven’t already done so, please take a minute to pencil in the School Council meeting dates for the balance of the school year: March 6 (also for CSS Parent Fundraising

Society), May 2 and June 5. There is no April meeting due to Spring Break.

The second half of our Fun Lunch program gets underway this month. We appreciate your on-going support of this program. The first half of the program wrapped up on January 13th, with a group of dedicated volunteers organizing the delivery of 468 individual pizzas to CSS students. On behalf of the CSS community, I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Nadine Jones, Shelly Young and their crew of volunteers for orga-nizing the 2011/12 Fun Lunch program. Well done!

There are a couple of volunteer opportunities coming up:• The annual parenting conference has

been tentatively scheduled for Saturday, April 14th. Ten to twelve volunteers are needed to help organize this event: planning, advertising, room set-up and take-down, etc.

• The 2011/12 annual parent survey planning process will begin in late March / early April. We’re looking for one or two volunteers to help develop this year’s survey questions and then with analysis of the survey responses.

In case you missed it during the holiday rush, School Council is now tweeting CSS event reminders, meeting reminders, links to parenting resources, and education-related news and information, etc. Follow us on Twitter at CSSCouncil.

Calgary Science School Evaluation

Our Vision:

We are leaders in teaching and learning and we are committed to meaningfully engaging our students as learners through inquiry and developing our students as leaders of tomorrow who are ethical citizens with an entrepreneurial spirit.

We embrace collaboration. We share what we do. We learn from others and others learn from us. We create relationships beyond the walls of our school.

We will transform the educational process in order to bring a positive benefit to our students and the broader educational community.

We will achieve this transformation in education by inspiring passion and innovation within an active, inquiry-based learning community by bringing learning to life and life to learning.

Our Mission:The Calgary Science School will provide its students the opportunity to experience inquiry-based learning within an environ-ment of mutual respect. We will do so by using 1) technology; 2) outdoor educa-tion; 3) the sciences; and 4) authentic

research experiences for staff and students to enhance learning in the middle school core and extracurricular programs.

Our Culture and Values:We value our unique culture which is characterized by a strong sense of caring, teamwork and mutual respect among our students and teachers and we will strive to build on the sense in the Calgary Science School that, “this is a good place to be

The Calgary Science School is one of 13 publicly-funded charter schools in

Alberta. The school receives the same basic funding as any other public school in Alberta however, as a charter school there is a special mandate to serve as a centre of innovation and to develop exemplary, research-informed

teaching practices which could be replicated in other schools. The Minister of Education is responsible for approving the formation of charter schools based on a clear state-ment of intent which is outlined in a charter document. The Calgary Science School strategic plan makes reference to the charter and the overriding goal to Lead, Share and

Transform as is reflected in the following statements which make reference to vision, mission, culture and values:

The primary purpose of the school evaluation is to determine if the school is fulfilling its charter mandate.

Background

Dr. Garry McKinnon,Superintendent



and we are all in this together” as a school community.

The School Evaluation Process The Minister of Education makes provi-sion for every charter school in Alberta to be evaluated every five years. The primary purpose of the school evaluation is to deter-mine if the school is fulfilling its charter mandate. The Calgary Science School which was last evaluated in 2007 will undergo an Alberta Education evaluation the week of February 27 to March 2, 2012. Mr. Bill Hoppins who was a member of the 2007 evaluation team will be the team leader for the evaluation and the other team members are Dr. Dot Negropontes(former Associate Superintendent, Chinook’s Edge School Division) and Dr. Jim Brandon (University of Calgary professor and former Associate Superintendent, Foothills School Division).

The evaluation process began with a meeting on December 6 involving the school evaluation team and Calgary Science School representatives including Board Chair Mr. Harold Lemieux; School Council Chair Ms. Denise Kitagawa; School

Superintendent Dr. Garry McKinnon; Secretary-treasurer Ms. Myra Penberthy; School Principal Mr. Darrell Lonsberry; and Assistant Principals, Mr. Phil Butterfield and Mr. Scott Petronech. The evaluation team also facilitated an after-school information session for the staff to provide an overview of the school evaluation process which will include the following:

• School Evaluation Team Leader Mr. Bill Hoppins will attend the February 21 meeting of the Board of Directors and will interview the board members.

• All students will be invited to provide feedback through a survey

• Staff members will complete a survey and the evaluation team will conduct classroom observations and follow-up interviews with a randomly selected group of teachers and the evaluation team will spend some time in every classroom.

• Parents will be given an opportunity to complete an online survey and ran-domly selected parents will be inter-viewed in small groups. Any individual parent request for an interview will be

accommodated with an in-person or telephone interview.

• Mr. Hoppins will attend a School Council meeting

• The principal and assistant principals will be interviewed.

• The superintendent and secretary-trea-surer will be interviewed.

School Evaluation Focus Questions

The school evaluation team will focus

their data gathering processes on the

following seven questions:

1. Are provincial requirements being met?

2. Does the school meet the terms and conditions of its charter?

3. Do the students, parents, teachers and community members see the school as being effective and successful?

4. Is the school financially viable?

5. Are innovative practices and approaches to student learning and other charter innovations being used, and are they effective and shared?

6. Is the school being governed effectively?

7. Is the school being administered effectively?

As a school community we welcome the opportunity to be involved in the school evaluation process and to receive feedback which will include commendations and recommendations for our consideration. We continue to pursue our charter mandate and maintain an ongoing focus on enhancing learning and teaching in the Calgary Science School and providing opportunities for every student to experience success.

CSS has a great parent commu-nity who are actively engaged

in volunteering. In 2011 we had parents volunteering their time and skills for Phys-ed, Science Fair, Fun Lunch, Fundraising, School Council, Band Committee, Room Reps ... the list goes on. The Parent Volunteer Committee would like to thank all the volunteers who helped contribute to our school community.

Just a reminder to those who volunteer at the school to please sign in and out at the office and wear a volunteer badge when you are helping out at the school. We do collect the sign in sheets and tally the hours. We have calculated 2110 volunteer hours for 2011.

If your clearance is coming up for renewal, please make sure to get your forms signed in the office early. The Calgary Police have a new policy for their security checks. Many volunteers are having to go do the police information check unit office for a second screening process, before they receive clearance.

Volunteer Committee

We have calculated 2110

volunteer hours for 2011. If you had to go throught this process and have received a letter from the calgary Police services, please bring that letter to the school. You are not considered cleared until we have a copy of that letter.



CSS BOARD

RETREAT

On the afternoon of Friday, January 27, the members of the Calgary Science

School Board of Directors went back to school. The assignment was to develop a deeper understanding of the nature of learning and teaching in the Calgary Science School from the perspective of a student. The learning experience began over lunch as a group of grade 7 students became mentors through sharing their expertise with the use of the iPad 2. The board members, in keeping with the focus on technology in the school, have decided to conduct their

business in a paperless environment using the iPad 2 and they eagerly accepted the knowledgeable guidance of the students on the various applications and strategies to achieve the full potential of the technology. When the afternoon classes began, grade 9 students served as hosts and tour guides for the board members who spent time in various classrooms learning more about: inquiry and personal development through the fine arts and performing arts; programs promoting student fitness and an active lifestyle; inquiry-based learning activities

Dr. Garry McKinnonSuperintendent



in math, science and humanities; first aid, woodwork creations, weird science and the human machine in the grade 7 to 9 electives classes and all that is being done to help each student experience success as a learner through Learning Strategies programs. Throughout the afternoon there were plenty of opportunities for the board members and students to ask questions of each other and to discuss what they were observing about learning and teaching in the Calgary Science School.

This unique introduction to the Board of Directors two day retreat was enthusiasti-cally described by the Board members as an incredibly worthwhile learning experi-ence and a highlight for them personally. The board members were very impressed with what they had observed and expressed appreciation for the outstanding manner in which their student hosts and mentors took care of them. In the debriefing session at the end of the day, board member commenda-tions of the students and teachers included:

• The students were articulate and compe-tent and were very capable at responding to the questions posed to them by the board members.

• The students are good “salespeople”. Learning through inquiry is something that the students understand and appreci-ate. The students are great ambassadors for the school. The students have a sense of the whole school and they share a


10

common language and understanding with their teachers related to learning and teaching in the Calgary Science School.

• The well-rounded education the students are being provided in the fine arts and performing arts, physical education, elec-tives as well as the core courses and the emphasis on integrating learning experi-ences is very impressive.

• Collaboration among teachers in planning and implementing learning experiences and collaboration involving teachers and students and students as learners with their peers is clearly a hallmark of the Calgary Science School.

• Learning and teaching is focused and purposeful and the students are really engaged.

• It is great to see how the younger students and older students learn from each other and provide feedback and support to each other in the electives and activities involv-ing different grade levels coming together.

• There were many examples of what is described as personalized learning and providing opportunities for every student to experience success.

• The students are very good at working independently and clearly they are moti-vated as learners.

• Students are given the freedom to learn and teachers are given freedom to use their professional judgment in designing learning experiences which are meaning-ful and engaging for the students.

• The relationships among teachers and students are very positive and respectful and there is a strong sense of everyone coming together as members of a learning community.

• In every classroom there are many living examples of the descriptors of exemplary teaching and learning.

• There is a strong sense of pride in the Calgary Science School which is clear from the actions and comments of the teachers and the students.

The learning experience continued after school as representatives of 15 teachers who are involved in conducting a variety of research and innovation projects in the school, shared some background informa-tion in regard to their projects. The Board of Directors established a Research and Innovation fund to support the involvement of teachers in exploring and developing, through action research exemplary teach-ing practices, which are supportive of the school charter and strategic plan. The board members were very impressed with the enthusiasm of the teachers and the quality of the research and innovation projects. The retreat continued into Friday evening when the members of the school leader-ship team (superintendent, principal, assistant principals and secretary-treasurer) facilitated a discussion of the Calgary Science School strategic plan Lead- Share- Transform which was adopted by the board in June 2011 following a comprehensive consultation process involving students, staff members and parents. It was a valuable opportunity to reflect on what has been accomplished and what more needs to be done. The focus of the dialogue was on the first two of the four key strategies: cultivate

The Spectr u m

the Calgary Science School as a hub for the development and promotion of the science of learning and exemplary teaching prac-tices for the benefit of the students we serve as well as to impact learning and teaching beyond our school; and fostering research initiatives to inform teaching practices for the benefit of students in keeping with the Alberta Education mandate for charter schools to serve as centres of research and innovation.The Board continued the dialogue focusing on the strategic plan with reference to the other two key strategies: creating sustainable and enriched program-ming and initiatives within the Calgary Science School and creating a formal communications strategy to support the promotion of the Calgary Science School as a centre of exemplary teaching and learn-ing through innovation and research. The Calgary Science School Society Board of Directors has been involved in forming a Fund Development Foundation which has a mandate to explore opportunities for gen-erating funds for major initiatives which go beyond the normal operations of the school, which are funded by Alberta Education. The focus of the discussion was on the recom-mendations for action strategies in a fund

development consultants report which was commissioned by the Board of Directors. As well, consideration was given to strategies for enhancing the communications plan and marketing the school. The closing activ-ity of the retreat involved a start, quit and keep on doing activity in which the board and leadership team members reflected on the retreat activities and identified new action strategies to be implemented (start); priorities for action (including those which should be discontinued – quit) and areas of accomplishment and best practices which should be continued (keep on doing).The Board of Directors retreat 2012 pro-vided an excellent opportunity for the Board members to develop a better understand-ing of learning and teaching in the Calgary Science School and to articulate a vision for continuing growth and development.

Rather than aiming at providing an exhaustive or extensive collection cov-

ering all topics of interest, this is an eclec-tic collection of recommended resources specific to the interests of this community of parents and teachers. (Of equal and ongoing importance are the selection criteria of balance, currency, and authority.) The selection and inclusion of the books in this section focus on various constructive approaches, as opposed to academic discus-sions and explanations- in other words, desirable resources will offer explanations sufficient for understanding, and follow

through with practical, and varied, sugges-tions and strategies.

Parents can view the listing of titles with brief annotations in the collection in the blog entry on the CSS library page:http://web.mac.com/css_library/Site/Parent_Resources.htmlIt can also be accessed using the online catalogue in the library or on any computer within the school. A “Parenting” subject search serves to gather all these resources into a single list of results.

Parents are welcome to request a library account be created for borrowing purposes. Please email this request, drop in, or phone the library. Delivery and return of the requested book(s) will be managed via the student in most cases. Most, if not all, of the resources listed in this collection will be available to borrow from the public library, or for purchase through the usual book vendors.

Anne Tingle LibraryDid you know we have resources available for parents? In response to a School Parent Council request in the past, books of particular interest to parents are avail-able from our library.

Parent ResourcesDonna Johnson Alden

Teacher Librarian



Anne Tingle Library

Profits from over $850.00 in sales during the Usborne Book Fair last November, gave us about $350.00 worth of books. After selecting a number of titles to add to our library collection, we used the remaining half of the proceeds to purchase new baby books to donate to the Louise Dean School. (Louise Dean supports pregnant and new teen mothers as they continue their educa-tion outside of the regular school system.)

News from last Fall’s Usborne Book Fair at CSS

We have classics like Barbara Coloroso’s Kids are Worth It!; books that reveal the mysteries of teen brain development, and strategies that help everyone through this phase; books that shed light on bullying situations and most importantly, how to guide children with these serious challenges; and books on gender differences, including Barry MacDonald’s Boy Smarts and Boys on Target.

Two online parent resources I highly recom-mend are Barry Macdonald’s newsletter, http://mentoringboys.com/ , and Anthony Wolf ’s articles available here:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/parenting/advice/anthony-e-wolf/Barry MacDonald and Anthony Wolf are practicing child and adolescent registered psychologists, the latter from Vancouver, and a presenter at our school in the past. Anthony Wolf specializes in teenage psy-chology, and his advice is practical, reassur-ing and humorous too.

If you have any questions or suggestions in regards to this, or other library topics, please feel free to contact me [email protected]

The generosity of CSS parents, and their passion for books, permitted a redirection of some of that generosity and passion to a worthy local cause. Thank you.



Recently, grade eights embarked on a mission to complete graphic novels

based on a list of short stories includ-ing Alice Munroe’s Day Of The Butterfly and Roald Dahl’s Lamb To The Slaughter. During the process of creating the graphic novels we were asked to convey the theme of the story through our illustrations. We were also asked to create graphic novels that draw in the reader through diverse paneling, the introduction of poetic language, and varying

points of view. Although this process took over a month to complete the time and effort put into the project was well worth it.

At the end of the unit we were given the opportunity to present our exceptional creations to the City of Calgary. Specifically, the students were able to share their hard work at something called the Kensington Market Collective, which is a place where artists from all over Calgary come to display and sell their original artwork, jewelry, clothes, music and much more. Although we were not selling our novels, on Saturday,

Market Collective A Big Hit!

Dec. 10th the classes of 8.3 and 8.4 had a chance to showcase their graphic novels at the Kensington Market Collective. Overall, the booth representing our graphic novels at the market was a hit. During the all day session about 14 students took turns showing their work and explaining the process of making a graphic novel. Many came and went to see the wonderful graphic novels that our grade eight classes created. Having our work marked by teachers is nice but having our graphic novels appreciated by a wider community, many of whom were artists, is even better.
