Cottingham is committed to providing a learning environment that fully prepares children for successful living in a challenging world and that encourages self-directed problem solving and active participation. Teaching and learning focus on the acquisition and application of knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Evaluation consists of varied approaches; student progress is communicated to both parents and students. Expectations for achievement and work habits are high and consider individual differences. EQAO ensures greater accountability and better quality in Ontario’s publicly funded school system. An arm’s-length agency of the provincial government, EQAO provides parents, teachers and the public with accurate and reliable information about student achievement. EQAO also makes recommendations for improvement that educators, parents, policy-makers and others in the education community can use to improve learning and teaching.
