2009-10 Achievement Contract

What is an Achievement Contract?

The School Act requires each Board of Education in British Columbia to prepare and
submit to the Minister of Education, an Achievement Contract with respect to standards
for student performance and plans for improving achievement in the district. The
Contract includes a focus on literacy, programs to support early learning and any other
matters as determined by the Minister.

Each Contract is developed collaboratively, on an evidence-based assessment of the needs and
priorities of the students in the district. The Contract identifies areas of focus for the
improvement of student success, describes strategic actions and outlines processes to
monitor progress and make adjustments intended to improve results.
