Manitoba's Commission on Kindergarten to Grade 12 Education Public Consultation Summary Report - JUNE 2019. BUILD Results.
The Blueprint Report
From April 24 to May 30, 2019 public and student workshops were held to gather feedback on Kindergarten to Grade12 (K-12) education in Manitoba. Eleven public workshops were held across Manitoba - five in Winnipeg and one in each of Thompson, The Pas, Brandon, Dauphin, Carman and Steinbach, with 1,690 participants in all. Two workshops hosting atotal of 137 students from across the province were held in Winnipeg.
All public sessions had a large portion of participants self-identify as working in K-12 education in Manitoba (teachers, educational assistants, clinicians, administration, trustees, union) and some participants attended multiple workshops. Student session participants were primarily in Grades 10-12 and had been selected by their school divisions to participate in the workshops.
Feedback from participants was gathered using a variety of tools during the sessions including participant-written small group discussion summaries, individual comment forms and exit forms (hard copy and digital versions), Slido web-enabled in-session engagement tool, K-12 journey map comments and focus area comments as well as notes captured by facilitators during the “reconvene” and sharing circle large group discussions.
