2004/05 Pilot Project Evaluation A research team, led by Principal Investigator Dr. Martin Shain, evaluated the 2004/2005 Living School Pilot Project. Although no significant results were expected after only one year, in fact, real improvements could be seen right away.
Data collected from community consultations as well as student and staff surveys showed that, one year later, Living School had resulted in: - Increased appreciation of the value of community partners and how to effectively work with them
- Increased belief in the ability of the school community to influence student health behaviours and attitudes
- Increased physical activity levels and trends toward healthier eating behaviours among both students and teachers
- Increased student attentiveness and alertness, increased student attendance and a reduction in behavioural issues
- Increased sense of student belonging, attachment and safety in the school community
