SD83’s Enhancing Student Learning Plan (Framework for Enhancing Student Learning)
In 2016 the B.C. Ministry of Education shared the draft Framework for Enhancing Student Learning, which reflects a public commitment by education partners to work together to continuously improve student learning for each student, and to address long-standing differences in performance amongst particular groups of students, most notably Indigenous students, children in care, and students with special needs.

The Framework for Enhancing Student Learning:
- is grounded in the belief that all education partners are responsible for student learning, with each having unique responsibilities
- creates a system-wide focus on student learning, to ensure each student in BC achieves his or her full potential
- is meaningful, impactful, flexible, realistic, and sustainable
- addresses differences in performance among particular groups of students, most notably Aboriginal students, children in care, and students with special needs
- is strength, support, evidence, and results-based
- reflects system-wide commitment to continuous improvement and life-long learning
- continues to build public confidence in BC’s education system
