The Framework for Enhancing Student Learning (the Framework) is a scaffolding of policy and legislation that guides the approach to continuous improvement within British Columbia’s K-12 public education sector through a combination of accountability and evidence-informed decision making. The Framework formalizes planning and reporting expectations for all school districts with a focus on improving equity of learning outcomes and enhancing the intellectual, social, and career development of all students in the K-12 public system.
The Framework for Enhancing Student Learning Policy (the Policy), the Enhancing Student Learning Reporting Order (Reporting Order), and the Guiding Principles were developed in collaboration with First Nations rightsholders and education partners.
