Ottawa Region MISA Professional Network Centre

We are a network of dedicated educational professionals, made up of member school boards encompassing the Ottawa-Carlton Region of Ontario, including the counties of Renfrew, Hastings, Frontenac, Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott, Russell, Lennox and Addington.


Our Vision

MISA East continuously strives to support the local capacity building components of the MISA initiatives by fostering a culture of evidence-informed decision-making through communication, sharing of resources, innovation, and collaboration.

We strive to...

  • Promote evidence-based decision-making at the classroom, school and system levels that enhance student achievement
  • Collaborate and share professional learning within our member boards regarding managing information for student achievement
  • Support data management procedures that result in complete, accurate, reliable, valid, and relevant data
  • Develop ethical procedures in the collection, analysis, interpretation and communication of data related to student learning, demographics, perceptions, and school processes
  • Highlight research-based best practices to inform policy, procedures and practices among our member boards

Our Objectives

The objective of this site is to provide a location for Teachers, Principals, and Senior Admin to access resources, materials, and learning opportunities for improving Information Literacy, Statistical Literacy, and Data Literacy.

Modules have been developed to provide a variety of learning opportunities for each group of learners. These modules can be completed in sequence (start to finish), or a learner can pick and choose the sections from each module that most interests them!

While many electronic resources have been provided for individual use, there are also opportunities to use the resources in small groups, or to join a large group (even at another board!) Check out our calendar of events to see what is going on in our Region!

The resources on this site are available to use by all boards in our Region. Learners are welcome to download documents for your individual use, with learning networks, or for broader Professional Development in your Board!
