The Wesley Foster Foundation is committed to leveraging the power of technology to rethink education and approach student learning in new ways. To support this goal, the foundation is working to update and expand upon the vision presented by the Ministry of Education to ensure its relevance and usefulness based on the policy funding and social contexts within which digital learning now occurs. The WFF will incorporate new developments in education technology for how schools within the communities can continue to use technology to improve equity and opportunity for all students.
The WFF started by providing the Barbary Hall Primary and Infant School in 2021 with Tablets for all students and laptops for all teachers. This will be the pilot school that is used to jump-start the program.
Our Vision for Personalized Learning
Personalized learning results from decisions about teaching and learning are based on a framework of social, emotional learning, clear learning progressions and expectations for competency, and principles of universal learning design. These foundational concepts come to life through the student-centered approaches teachers choose and the flexibility of the learning environment that promotes student agency and engagement.
Student-Centered Learning
Selecting and using instructional methods and assessment practices that give students choice and ownership for their learning build agency and investment.
Student Learning Progressions
Defining clear outcomes and describing what progress and competency looks like fosters alignment
focus and shared ownership of learning while promoting equitable outcomes.
Social-Emotional Learning
The skills and knowledge are set to manage emotions, set and work toward goals, establish and maintain relationships, and work productively with others serve as a foundation for success in life.
Universal Design for Learning
A framework for optimizing teaching and learning provides for varied means of engagement representation and expression aligned with the science of how we learn.
Flexible Learning Environment
Designing learning environments that are flexible and can accommodate the needs and interests of a range of learners leads to equitable outcomes.
The Wesley Foster Foundation will provide access to tablets laptops and the internet while on campus to all schools that are approved for this grant/donation.
