School RenewalMission:Manitoba School Improvement Program (MSIP Inc.) is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization that promotes educational equity and social justice by collaborating with public secondary schools to build their capacity to improve student learning and engagement.Vision:Schools are dynamic learning communities for all.At MSIP, we don't embrace a sanitized version of social justice. Rather, we appreciate the challenge, discomfort, and messiness of how people achieve their potential. Our work is to encourage schools and communities to act out for renewal in diverse ways that suit their contexts. We recognize that working for social justice in education requires both courage and vulnerability to reimagine, reconsider, and recreate powerful learning opportunities and relationships with students.But, we aren't all talk. We work at different levels of the system: students, teachers, school, division administrators, community members, government, and other educational associations and organizations.Without formal positional power, we are free to build relationships that support candid, critical dialogue, collaboration, and innovation without traditional systemic barriers
Clifton School is a Nursery to Grade 6 elementary school in The Winnipeg School Division. It is nestled in a quiet neighbourhood in the West End of Winnipeg. We have an enrolment of 198 students and a total of 23 staff members.
Clifton is a small school situated in a culturally diverse community. The parents in our community expect their children to work hard at school, and to be respectful and tolerant of each other. Our school is small and we get to know all the students and their families very well. The sense of belonging is very strong at Clifton School.
