Assurance Framework
Every spring, Alberta Education allocates funds to school authorities to support the delivery of high-quality education programs for all students. The practice establishes an accountability relationship that requires transparency, annual reporting and assurance every Alberta-based school division meets its responsibilities. Within EIPS, this is facilitated through an Assurance Framework, cycled through annually. Broadly, it’s an accountability mechanism for the Division to assess and publicly demonstrate its ongoing progress—through regular reporting, set processes, actions, engagement, analysis of evidence and relationship building. The result: stakeholders and community members continually gain a comprehensive understanding of EIPS’ performance and its commitment to fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
