13.REPORTS FROM THE ADMINISTRATION
a.2013 Grade 1 Summer Literacy Camp
Supt. V. Nielsen introduced Vice-Principal M.Langhans-Wiikie who provided Information
regarding the 2013 Grade 1 Summer Literacy Camp.
This year's Grade 1 Summer Literacy Camp Program was once again, a very successful
program,with 513 students registered. Programs were delivered in schools located in higher
needs areas,and where students may not have had the opportunity to attend other summer
programs. In 2013, the following elementary schools were utilized:Aberdeen,Bonaventure
Meadows,Central,June Rose Callwood, Laurie Hawkins, Lord Elgin, Rick Hansen,Wilfrid Jury,
and Wilton Grove.There were 49 staff members:44 teachers,two Speech Language
Pathologists and three supervisors.
The Grade 1 LiteracyCamp program was designed for students who, at the end of Grade 1, had
DRA scores of below level 8. At the end of Grade 1,students should have DRA scores of level 16
or higher. The focus was on differentiated instruction based on initial and ongoing assessments.
Students were exposed to high yield literacy strategies which helped them develop their reading
and writing skills. Itwas an expectation of the program that teachers team plan and team teach,
using themes that are engaging and meaningful to ignite a passion for learning and to build a love
of reading. Also part of the 2013 program was the delivery of an Open House at each site the
week prior to the official start of the program. The Open House served several purposes:1)
introduction of parents and students to staff; 2)initial running record assessment of students in
order to have a current and accurate baseline assessment;and 3)alleviation of anxiety for
students.The Parent Program was also a huge success,with 60% or more of parents attending
the 1.5 hour presentation and demonstration,with the purpose to engage parents in learning how
to best support their child with early reading skills at home.Finally,as In the regular school year,
volunteers were an important part of the program. This year, through connection with Western
University's Faculty of Education, and through the efforts of individual teachers,the Summer
Literacy Program had access to over 70 volunteers.
2013 November 12...3
13.REPORTS FROM THE ADMINISTRATION -cont'd
a.2013 Grade 1 Summer Literacy Camp -cont'd
Preliminary Results:Anecdotal reports from teachers and parents Indicate improvement in
student confidence and reading development.Student's final report cards showed growth in high
frequency word recognition and next steps were also identified. This program also promoted an
excellent opportunity for building the capacity of TVDSB teachers in comprehensive literacy
programming.
Next Steps:Learning Support Services staff will meet with the three administrators of the 2013
program, and Research and Assessment staff to design next year's program based on the results
from 2013.
The 2013 program was funded at a cost of $136,000 from OFIP Tutoring funding.The program
ran for nine days the last two weeks of July,2013 from 9:00 a.m.to 12:30 p.m.
In response to a question regarding eligibility, it was noted that high needs are determined by
each school's Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA)scores and which facilities are
available during the summer to run the program.
b.Summer 2013 Numeracy CODE Initiative
Learning Supervisor L. De Vos provided the following update on the Summer Numeracy CODE
Initiative.
The CODE Summer Numeracy Program was offered to three classes of Grade two students from
Emily Carr,Eagle Heights,and Wilfrid Jury schools.The program focused on supporting and
growing number sense and numeration skills for students who were working at Level 2, or low
Level 3. In total,there were three classes with approximately 15 students per class.To develop
student understanding,sessions were divided into two blocks that always included teaching
through problem solving,games,and guided practice.A typical day would begin with a 3-Part
Lesson followed by a Quality Daily Physical Activity (QDPA)game or community-building activity.
The second half of the morning would contain a 20-minute period of Reflex math-fact fluency
development in the computer lab and a second 3-Part Lesson.In addition to the program for
students,two,one-hour Parent Information Workshop Meetings were held.
As part of the research involved in this CODE funded program,each enrolled student and their
classmates completed an online "STAR Math"assessment in late June and in early September to
measure their numeracy level before and after the summer program.All assessments were
conducted by a teacher representative of the Numeracy Camp program.In addition,all parents
were invited to participate in a parent survey.
In September and October,two full day Summer Numeracy Learning sessions were offered to
support the Grades 2, 3 and 4 teachers of the participating schools.These sessions were
designed to complement mathematics programming for students at the Grade 2-4 level,and
focused on number sense,math fluency,and the sharing of the summer numeracy experience.In
addition there was a focus on mathematics for teaching;teaching through problem solving;and,
some new resources were shared and distributed to support students'continued growth and
understanding.
CODE provided $15 000 in funding per class.The program ran for three weeks,July 15 to
August 2,2013 from 8:30 a.m.to 12:00 noon.
In response to a question regarding eligibility, it was noted that all students that applied to the
program were accepted.

c.Summer 2013 First Nations Metis Inuit (FNMI)Literacy Project
Principal C.KIssau provided an update to the Board on the initiatives regarding CODE FNMI
Summer Literacy Camp.
The CODE FNMI Summer Literacy program was held at Aberdeen Public School from July 2-16,
2013. It was staffed by one classroom teacher,one Educational Assistant,and three full-time
volunteers. Twenty-nine students registered to attend the FNMI program, with an overall
attendance rate of 80%.
The FNMI Literacy Camp was designed for students who self-identify as First Nation, Metis or
Inuit status and who are in Grades K-3.The program consisted of a literacy component which
occurred from 9:00-10:30 a.m.followed by a recreational component of organized games,and
then as a cultural/arts program which ran from 11:00-12:00 p.m. Through Shared Reading
strategies,sight words,comprehension strategies and decoding strategies were explicitly taught
during whole group instruction. Learning skills, oral communication,phonological skills and fine
motor skills were all emphasized in small group instruction.Students are exposed to high yield
literacy strategies which helped them develop their reading and writing skills. The program was
differentiated for the various levels of readers who attended.The Southwest Ontario Aboriginal
Health Access Centre (SOAHAC) and community FNMI leaders assisted in providing a cultural
component to the program. Staff were able to enrich the program by providing hands-on,
meaningful activities (arts/crafts,dance,drumming, storytelling)that involved parent participation.
SOHAC also provided 3 parental education components.
Prior to the FNMI summer camp, the classroom teacher collected Spring DRA data and other
relevant literacy data to form Reading/Writing Groups. There were 2 reading conferences and 2
guided readinggroups completed each day bythe classroom teacher and support staff.
A summer literacy anecdotal assessment report was provided to each classroom teacher in
September 2013,outlining student results for current/future planning.Over the summer months, it
is common for students to shift to lowerliteracy levels, however,students who participated inthis
program did not exhibit any summer learning loss.Students in the FNMI literacy program
maintained or increased their DRA level.Parental comments suggested an increase in their
child's self-confidence intheir reading abilities and a positive attitude towards school.
$15,000 was provided by the Council of Ontario Directors of Education (CODE). The program
ran July 2 to15,2013 from 9:00 a.m.to 12:00 noon.
