The Government of Alberta is launching a new series of initiatives known as “Future Ready” that will co-ordinate and improve education and skills training to better prepare kids for success in a changing economy.
The first initiative to launch includes an online survey to ensure that parents and other concerned Albertans have their say during a comprehensive review of the province’s K-12 curriculum.
The online survey will run from Oct.18, 2016 until Nov. 18, 2016. Alberta Education will also be looking at research on student learning and what other jurisdictions from around the world are doing and will be holding face-to-face discussions with a cross-section of Albertans.
The survey questions are available in English and in French.
Alberta Education is reviewing curriculum simultaneously in six core kindergarten to Grade 12 subjects: Arts, Language Arts (English, French, Français), Mathematics, Social Studies, Sciences and Wellness. Previously, curriculum was developed one subject at a time.
For more information on the curriculum review and to complete the survey, please visit Alberta Education's curriculum development website.
