Provincial MELRA Awards

Minister’s Education Leadership Recognition Awards


http://education.alberta.ca/department/ipr/awards.aspx

The Minister’s Education Leadership Recognition Awards (MELRA) celebrate significant improvement and/or very high achievement at the district or jurisdiction level. These awards, created in collaboration with key education stakeholders, recognize those school board leaders who make a difference in our classrooms every day.

Many of the award categories are based on the province’s Accountability Pillar, an innovative and straightforward way of measuring our learning goals at the school authority and provincial level.

School boards are eligible to receive an award if their annual results demonstrate significant improvement and/or very high achievement across the following Accountability Pillar categories:

Safe and Caring Schools
Student Learning Opportunities
Student Learning Achievement (Grades 1 to 9)
Student Learning Achievement (Grades 10 to 12) including High School Completion
Preparation for lifelong learning, world of work, and citizenship
Parental Involvement
School improvement
School boards may also receive awards in four additional categories:
Healthful living (e.g.: Physical Education, Health, Nutrition, etc.)
Fine Arts (e.g.: Music, Drama, etc)
Practical Arts (e.g.: RAP, CTS, etc.),
Academic Non-Diploma Exam Courses (e.g.: Second languages, Religious studious, courses leading to a diploma exam such as Applied Math 10 and 20 or Pure Math 10 and 20, etc.)
Jurisdictions are eligible for multiple awards. Based on a set standard per category, a jurisdiction may receive an award in each category for significant improvement and/or very high achievement.
