8.1 What processes do we use to assess, monitor, and communicate implementation of our EIE policies and principles in our schools and board to all partners (e.g., students, staff, parents, community)?

8.2 What key indicators do we use to assess the impact of EIE on student learning and well-being?

8.5 How can our school better engage staff in the continuous improvement of instructional and operational practices to embed EIE principles and foster a positive school climate in support of student achievement and well-being?

8.4 How do we know that EIE principles are embedded as part of the board’s multi-year strategic plan – in the school effectiveness review process, in board (BIPSA) and school (SIPSA) improvement plans, and in classroom practices?

8.3 How does the school seek and use a full range of information and data (e.g., quantitative or qualitative data; data on trends in student population, learning needs, or student profiles) to help identify barriers and biases and adapt to the needs of students?
