Muriel Clayton Middle School, Airdrie, AB

At Muriel Clayton Middle School we will engage, enrich and empower learners to reach for their potential as competent, successful individuals in a safe and caring environment. Learners construct their understanding in a variety of ways. We need to provide relevant, engaging and authentic learning opportunities that can be differentiated to meet these needs. Balanced assessment practices ensure constructive feedback is provided to enhance learner success. We recognize and celebrate a school culture of diversity. We provide opportunities in fine arts, athletics, academics, cultural awareness and civic stewardship. Learners need to be committed and accountable in order to attain their goals. The attainment of goals requires clear communication of expectations and measures of success, ongoing and constructive feedback through balanced assessment practices and reflection on the learning process to make the necessary adjustments that will ensure success.
