Dr. Kim Snow

CYIC Innovative Pilot Programming• In 2013-14, EDU allocated funding to 18 school boards (14 English language and 4
French language) to deliver 20 pilots of innovative programs for secondary students to support improved outcomes through:
o accumulation of credits, attendance, and enhanced pathways planning;o access to supports and interventions including connections to a “caring adult”;o tracking and monitoring educational progress;o opportunities for the school boards and CAS to work together to identify student
participants and share information.
• For the 2014-15 school year, 18 pilots were renewed (13 English language boards and 3 French language boards) to enable a more robust analysis of data, to inform future decisions, and to build capacity in school boards.
• A second year of programming for these students will facilitate a better understanding of which models are emerging as promising practices.

CYIC Innovative Pilot Programming
• Preliminary results from 2013-14 indicated:
o over half the students in the program were at risk of not graduating;
o participating students earned an average of five credits, improved their attendance and reduced disciplinary incidents; a significant improvement over the previous year;
o CAS, school boards, and community partners collaborated together to support the academic success of students in the pilot;
o anecdotal information received from the pilot board leads and through ministry’s pilot visits indicates that the pilots are well received by participating students;
o a number of key features are fairly consistent throughout all of the pilots.

CYIC Innovative Pilot Programming – Next Steps
In response to a call for proposals in November 2014:
•13 new pilots of innovative programs for secondary students (offered through 12 school boards) have been approved for second semester;
•17 programs for elementary and secondary students (offered through 14 school boards) have been approved for the summer;
•The addition of these new pilots brings the total number of 2014-15 pilots to 48 programs offered through 31 school boards (45% of all school boards).
