A Profile of the School Authority

Al Mustafa Academy and Humanitarian Society (Al Mustafa Academy) is a religious, social,
cultural, and non-profit organization that provides services and programs designed to assist in
the educational and spiritual development of the Muslim individual and family. A primary
tenet of Al Mustafa Academy is community involvement and service not only with the
Muslim community but with every community regardless of faith or background.

Al Mustafa Academy is dedicated to humanitarianism and educating students no matter their
financial status. We are providing free education to all the Syrian Refugees who wish to join
us as a part of our humanitarian society for as many years as it takes to allow the parents to
acquire financial stability and to become firmly settled in our Canadian society.

Al Mustafa Academy’s roots are deeply enshrined in the message and teachings of the
Prophet Mohammad. Its modern roots can be traced to the vigorous intellectual revivalist
effort that took hold in Muslim societies starting in the early 20th Century. This revival aimed
at reconciling faith with the challenges of modernity and providing a clear articulation of
balance and moderation in understanding Islam. Al Mustafa Academy’s core message
concentrates on constructive engagement in society, focus on personal and communal
empowerment, and organizational development.

Al Mustafa Academy is a wholly Canadian organization that operates only in Canada. Al
Mustafa Academy cooperates with other like-minded organizations for the betterment of our
members and the community as a whole. Al Mustafa Academy believes that maximizing the
potential of every individual is key to fruitful development of the community.

                                                                                              Page 4

Trends and Issues

Transportation has improved this year due to the opening of the location of our KG - Grade 6
school in the north. This new school and the increase of busses has helped to make sure the
bus routes are feasible in length, so the students do not spend hours on the road, and the busses
do not have the long routes they used to have. We look forward to expanding the KG -6 in the
north to KG -12 for those living in the north in the next year.

Technology has improved since last year with the donation of lap tops for our students. We
will constantly strive to be as technological as we can, introducing more and more students to
the advantages of technology.

Since we have many students whose first language is not English we will be continuing to
include English as a Second Language to help them understand, read and communicate in
English. We use integration, special ESL classes for those who need extra help, as well as
encouragement for students to speak only English in the school.

                                                                                              Page 5

Desired Outcome One: Alberta Students Are Successful

 Measure Evaluation Reference (Optional)
 Achievement Evaluation
 Achievement evaluation is based upon a comparison of Current Year data to a set of standards which remain consistent over time. The
 Standards are calculated by taking the 3 year average of baseline data for each measure across all school jurisdictions and calculating
 the 5th, 25th, 75th and 95th percentiles. Once calculated, these standards remain in place from year to year to allow for consistent
 planning and evaluation.
 The table below shows the range of values defining the 5 achievement evaluation levels for each measure.

 Notes:
 1) For all measures except Drop Out Rate: The range of values at each evaluation level is interpreted as greater than or equal to the
    lower value, and less than the higher value. For the Very High evaluation level, values range from greater than or equal to the lower
    value to 100%.
 2) Drop Out Rate measure: As "Drop Out Rate" is inverse to most measures (i.e. lower values are "better"), the range of values at each
    evaluation level is interpreted as greater than the lower value and less than or equal to the higher value. For the Very High evaluation
    level, values range from 0% to less than or equal to the higher value.

 Improvement Table
 For each jurisdiction, improvement evaluation consists of comparing the Current Year result for each measure with the previous three-
 year average. A chi-square statistical test is used to determine the significance of the improvement. This test takes into account the size
 of the jurisdiction in the calculation to make improvement evaluation fair across jurisdictions of different sizes.
 The table below shows the definition of the 5 improvement evaluation levels based upon the chi-square result.
 Evaluation Category                           Chi-Square Range
 Declined Significantly                        3.84 + (current < previous 3-year average)
 Declined                                      1.00 - 3.83 (current < previous 3-year average)
 Maintained                                    less than 1.00
 Improved                                      1.00 - 3.83 (current > previous 3-year average)
 Improved Significantly                        3.84 + (current > previous 3-year average)

 Overall Evaluation Table
 The overall evaluation combines the Achievement Evaluation and the Improvement Evaluation. The table below illustrates how the
 Achievement and Improvement evaluations are combined to get the overall evaluation.
                                                                                       Achievement

 Category Evaluation
 The category evaluation is an average of the Overall Evaluation of the measures that make up the category. For the purpose of the
 calculation, consider an Overall Evaluation of Excellent to be 2, Good to be 1, Acceptable to be 0, Issue to be -1, and Concern to be -2.
 The simple average (mean) of these values rounded to the nearest integer produces the Category Evaluation value. This is converted
 back to a colour using the same scale above (e.g. 2=Excellent, 1=Good, 0=Intermediate, -1=Issue, -2=Concern)

                                                                                                                                             Page 8

Comment on Results
Al Mustafa Academy did not exempt any of its students from writing the PAT's. Since almost 60% of
our students have recently arrived as refugees and do not have English as their first language, doing
the PAT's were next to impossible for them. Therefore this resulted in very low PAT results.
Strategies
1. Maintain regular communication with parents regarding student progress via newsletters,
weekly updates, Parent/Teacher Interviews, and encouraging classroom visits

2. Teachers will schedule regular meetings with parents for these students with language
difficulties

3. Continue to assess needs, strengths, and weaknesses of incoming students (Kindergarten and
other grades).

4. Encourage teachers to match instruction to curriculum outcomes; administration will review
year and unit plans, and conduct classroom visits to support teachers.

5. Exam results were shared with teachers, and results were analyzed by both teachers and
administration to look for areas of growth, success, and improvement.

6. Help prepare students for PAT’s by teaching the curriculum well, and giving students
knowledge and strategies to answer various styles of questions (e.g. numeric response, multiple
choice, etc.)

7. Smaller classes with certified a in each class will improve student engagement and improve
their academic results

8. Professional learning committees (PLC) assist teachers to collaborate and design learning
outcome strategies in their division areas. As well as subject areas in Junior and Senior High
School.
Notes:
1.   Data values have been suppressed where the number of respondents/students is fewer than 6. Suppression is marked with an asterisk (*).
2.   Overall evaluations can only be calculated if both improvement and achievement evaluations are available.
3.   Aggregated PAT results are based upon a weighted average of percent meeting standards (Acceptable, Excellence). The weights are the
     number of students enrolled in each course. Courses included: English Language Arts (Grades 6, 9, 9 KAE); Français (Grades 6, 9); French
     Language Arts (Grades 6, 9); Mathematics (6, 9, 9 KAE); Science (Grades 6, 9, 9 KAE); and Social Studies (Grades 6, 9, 9 KAE).
4.   Participation in Provincial Achievement Tests was impacted by the flooding in June 2013 (Grade 9 only) and by the fires in May to June 2016.
     Caution should be used when interpreting trends over time for the province and those school authorities affected by these events.

Strategies

1. Encourage more students to be engaged in the school, and achieve academic excellence
through various programs and positive reinforcement.

2. Provide choices in Academic Challenge, Differential Assessment, Advance Placement,
 Individualized Programs, Availability of primary, secondary, and supplementary resources

3. Make sure that the high school is on a semester basis with a 40 credit policy for Grade 10,
and 35 credit policy for Grade 11 & 12. Typically each student graduates with approximately
110 credits. This also reflects the focus we have on responsible stewardship.

4. Encourage collaboration between High School teachers, Athletic Director, and administration

Outcome Two: The systemic education achievement gap between First Nations,
Métis and Inuit students and all other students is eliminated

    Our goal is to foster an environment where we are sensitive to the history and challenges FNMI face,
    especially because they form an important component of our Canadian heritage and modern society.
    In our Social Studies program there is a clear focus on First Nations and Metis related content. This
    program will provide background information on First Nations and Metis, and work to break down
    stereotypes and cultivate an attitude of love and respect for all cultures, including First Nations and
    Metis .Professional development opportunities have been and will be made available to our teachers
    through AISCA and Alberta Education.
•

•        Comments
•        We have many students from other lands with different languages, and social expectations.
         We strive to bring forward all students’ immense value and focus on cultivating an
         environment of equity and respect. The school is very committed to providing a safe and
         caring environment for all students; Our school is working on identifying and correcting
         unacceptable behavior, through intervention and parental support. Our goal is to correct and
         restore both victim and perpetrator.
    Strategies
    1. Students will be encouraged to achieve a high standard. There needs to be a higher involvement
        with teachers and parents who agree that students are taught attitudes and behaviours
        necessary for success after school has improved over last year. Our goal is to provide
        appropriate career counseling in order to help prepare students for life after Grade 12
        beginning in grade 10.

    2.     CALM course - Students will be taught how to design a resume and cover letter, seek
          appropriate references, and prepare for a job interview. Success will be measured by
          completion of the module with at least a passing grade.

    3. We are working on developing leadership skills in our students. We are developing Leadership
       teams in Elementary and Junior High as well as High School.
