Following the provincial government’s announcement regarding consultation on a new junior high curriculum; the Alberta Teacher’s Association has released a statement.
According to the province, they are connecting with education partners and teachers to gather their thoughts and develop a new 7-9 math, social studies, and physical education curriculum, alongside newly proposed career education, basic life skills and home maintenance programs.
In the statement, President Schilling expressed their desire to be involved in the process:
“The Alberta Teachers’ Association is encouraged to be part of the process which will help shape a curriculum that engages and promotes success for junior high school students. However, it’s our hope that teachers’ experiences and insights are included at the curriculum writing table and not brought in as an afterthought.”
