This assignment asks students to write a short paper analyzing four education indicators from the Saskatchewan Education Indicators Report or the Pan Canadian Education Indicators Report. For each indicator, students must: a) describe the relevant trend in terms of school life, b) identify potential causes of the trend, c) explain implications for their role as a teacher, and d) discuss potential ways to address or adapt to issues. The paper should provide an introduction and conclusion drawing connections among indicators, which do not need to be thematically linked. Questions are provided to guide analysis of trends, causes, consequences, and the ability of educators to influence trends.
