4. Section 1: Setting the Stage for Sector Plan
Student First is about unifying and re-orienting the education system on what matters most - the student.
It is about achieving targets in the Plan for Growth and addressing local priorities - and then bringing them together in one plan for action – an education system plan, focused on shared priorities.
Student First means individualizing and personalizing the experience and support for each student by name, by strength and by need.
Student First is also about shining the spotlight on the pockets of excellence that currently exist. There is likely not a challenge in education that someone has not already tackled somewhere in Saskatchewan.

Turning Vision and Strategy into Results

6. Basic Principles Allows the sector to prioritize and sequence
Provides focus for the alignment of effort and resources
Utilizes collective knowledge: the insight and creative talents at all levels

There is no “shame and blame”— there is “learn and improve.”

Strategic Intent: A high-level statement of what the sector wants to accomplish.
