Who are the panel members and how were they selected?
Your Panel members are Gillian Staveley, Lorraine Taillefer, Judith Arnold, and Greg Storey. Together we have varied experiences in education in other jurisdictions as well as from K to 12 and post-secondary in the Yukon. We were appointed by the Minister of Education not only for our diverse experiences in education but also for our passion for students and their learning, and our work with community engagement, governance, and organizational improvement. We bring our own unique perspectives to ensure the review is thorough, inclusive, and forward-looking.
What will the panel be examining?
We are reviewing how the department is structured and how it delivers services. This includes how it supports student learning, school authorities, educators, student wellbeing, in K to 12, post-secondary education, and future skills development. We are not reviewing early learning as it has recently undergone an Auditor General review.
What will be the outcomes?
We are to focus on placing students at the centre of all the work done in the department and our recommendations may serve to guide potential immediate changes and future planning for improvement. The final report will make actionable recommendations in most areas of the department’s work leading to the ongoing engagement with staff, students, parents, school boards, First Nations, councils, and our partners in education with significant implications for students, their classrooms, and schools to improve achievement for all learners in Yukon.
