The Education, Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) has awarded Edna Staebler Public School the Dr. Bette M. Stephenson – Recognition of Achievement Award, at a ceremony in Toronto.

The school is being honoured for its efforts at improving student achievement over the years, and its use of EQAO  data to improve student learning.

The Waterloo school is one of 27 schools across the province to be recognized by EQAO. They were recognized for their leadership, data-driven strategies, and school-wide approaches to helping students achieve success. “We use data from a wide variety of sources to inform our decisions… we also have a staff that is eager to learn and try new ways of meeting their student needs” says Jeff Parliament, principal of Edna Staebler PS. “But what makes Edna Staebler a great place to be is that we collaborate closely together, with the student’s well-being as our first priority.”

More information on Edna Staebler and their work with EQAO can be found on the EQAO website.
