Fort McMurray Catholic Schools Journey from Accountability to Assurance

Assurance Framework

We are committed to continued growth and best student learning practices. The Assurance Framework for educational planning represents our commitment to clear goals, outcomes, and strategies. 

Assurance provides the framework for our division to continue to be responsive and aligned to the needs of the Division’s school communities.

The education system in Alberta is based on continual improvement. There are professional practice standards for teachers, principals and system leaders. School authority planning is also an integral component of continual improvement in Fort McMurray Catholic Schools. We will always strive to do better; be better. This is our commitment.
