Another school year is in the books with the Education Minister already setting his sights on September.
Over the last week or so, Paul Dinn has been visiting some schools across the province ahead of the summer break.
While schools will be closed for the next couple of months, the work now begins to prepare for when the doors swing open again after Labour Day.
Dinn, who was blown away by some of the great things happening in K-12 classrooms, says he understands there are several issues that need to be addressed.
He says teachers are doing their best to identify and handle issues, however finding the proper supports continues to be a struggle.
“Our classrooms are becoming more complex,” says Dinn; “I think per capita, we have some of the most complex classrooms in country to be honest with you.” He says they’re trying to better prepare teachers by providing more information during PD days, however they need more supports and student assistants – something he says government is working on.
