- Summary:
-
The Willow Creek School Division in southern Alberta (Canada) invited leaders of various community agencies to serve on a task force to examine how changes in the local society were affecting children. The division serves approximately 2,700 rural-based students in several small rural communities. The task force was composed of the leaders of a variety of social, health, and police services, together with teachers, administrators, an official of the Alberta provincial education authority, and a member of the Board of Trustees. The task force surveyed teachers about students presenting or encountering major difficulties in school. The survey asked for a description of the problems, any in-school or community assistance being received by the student, and services needed by the student. A focus group of 12 secondary students answered questions pertaining to life at school or related to school. Although the focus-group exercise was deemed unsuccessful, it revealed that students perceived their lives as boring and enjoyed classes where participative methods of teaching were employed. Community agencies presented descriptions of their mandates and activities. The task force developed and disseminated a directory of social, psychological, health, and police services in the area. They also sent recommendations to the Board of the School Division. Although greater awareness and communication among agencies was accomplished, coordination of services remains a goal. (KS)
