BROCKVILLE | Reading scores high marks among students at Catholic English scho- ols in Eastern Ontario. Trustees for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) en- joyed a positive report from administra- tion about the latest provincial Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) results for elementary students within the school district’s jurisdiction. Reading and writing scores were assessed for the 2013- 2014 school year at both the Grades 3 and 6 levels, with CDSBEO results surpassing the provincial average while the results in mathematics put Eastern Ontario’s Eng- lish Catholic elementary grades in a close match with the rest of Ontario. “When we look closely at the data,” stated William J. Gartland, CDSBEO education di- rector, “we can see movement in some of the areas that relate directly to the strate- gies in our Strategic Plan, such as practicing our shared belief that all students can reach their potential in literacy given sufficient time and support.” The report to the CDSBEO board also credited the current policy stressing use of up-to-date technology at the classroom- level to support student learning. “Technology, combined with good in- struction,” stated a CDSBEO news report, “enables students to access and use infor- mation, analyze content, work with ideas, synthesize thoughts, and communicate their thinking.”
The EQAO results for the CDSBEO show Grade 3 students scoring 73 per cent and 82 per cent competency and understanding with reading and writing, compared to the provincial averages of 70 per cent for read- ing and 78 per cent for writing. The Grade 6 results for reading and writing were 83 per cent and 84 per cent compared to the pro- vincial averages of 79 per cent and 78 per cent. For mathematics, the CDSBEO Grade 3 score was 65 per cent compared to the pro- vincial average of 67 per cent. The Grade 6 score showed improvement with the CDS-
BEO at 57 per cent compared to the provin- cial average of 54 per cent. The CDSBEO has developed a Numeracy Action Plan (NAP) to help staff with improv- ing mathematics skills in students. The dis- trict is also working on other policies and programs like after-school homework clubs to support improvements in student lan- guage arts and mathematics skills. Gartland also noted excellent results in the EQAO report for the CDSBEO’s special education needs sector of its student popu- lation. Among Grade 3 students 61 per cent met or exceeded the provincial standard
compared to a 40 per cent average for all of Ontario. Results for Grade 6 for CDSBEO stu- dents with special education needs showed 66 per cent achievement compared to the provincial average of 47 per cent. In the Grade 9 mathematics assessment the EQAO rated 60 per cent for meeting or beating the provincial standard for CDS- BEO students with special education needs while the provincial average was 37 per cent. The Grade 10 literacy test score was 33 per cent achievement for CDSBEO special education needs students while the provin- cial average is 18 per cent.
