Principal Ms. Car and a few A.R. Lord parents recently attended a presentation held at Templeton High School. Educators introduced the concepts of this new curriculum, demonstrated website resources and answered questions.
This new educational curriculum has been developed to respond to the demanding world our students are entering. Transformation in curriculum will help teachers create learning environments that are both engaging and personalized for students. At the heart of British Columbia’s redesigned curriculum are core competencies, essential learning and literacy and numeracy foundations. It provides an opportunity for more exploration and inquiry-based learning.
A Ministry of Education statement says 100 teachers worked together for three years to create the flexible learning curriculum to help students understand core subjects through projects related to their interests, such as music, hockey or dinosaurs. The curriculum also offers aboriginal perspectives at all grade levels, an examination of the residential school system, new content on the history of East and South Asian immigrants and a renewed emphasis on environmental sciences.
