Schools On The Move: Lighthouse Program

Many Ontario schools have developed effective practices to help improve student achievement. The Schools on the Move initiative celebrates schools that are making significant and sustained progress in student achievement, and connects them with other schools that have similar backgrounds and challenges. The goal is for schools to share effective strategies and learn from one another.

Schools on the Move began in 2006 with 23 schools from across the province. New schools have joined every year and as of June 2009 there are over 140 schools in the network.

Student Achievement Officers from the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat work collaboratively with school boards. Together, they select schools that have used data and evidence to significantly improve student achievement over three years.
