ECEC Conference 2018

Updating the curriculum is critical to helping students develop the skills they need to realize their dreams. The Government of Alberta is giving students the tools they need to succeed in a fast changing world and critical to that work, is updating our curriculum. 
Alberta Education has partnered with The Alberta Teachers’ Association on the development of future curriculum in English and French. More than 300 individuals are giving their time and talents over and above the work they do professionally to move future curriculum forward. They will be developing curriculum through to Grade 12 until 2022. 
Alberta Education has released drafts of the proposed Kindergarten to Grade 4 curriculum in Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Sciences, Arts and Wellness Education and will release revised drafts that incorporate feedback from Albertans later in the fall. Alberta Education is also engaging with stakeholders and will coordinate the collaborative development of a curriculum implementation plan

Join us for the Annual General Meeting (AGM). There will be a large prize drawn at the end of the meeting for those who attend.

After the AGM, stay and join us for Appie Hour!

Do you ever look around your school, your district, or your province and wonder where all the women leaders are? Have you noticed that there are not many women sitting around the table where the decisions are made? Didn’t the women’s movement in the 70s fix all that? In this session, we will delve into the concept of secondary bias, and what this means for women who aspire to positional leadership. We will identify the unique leadership challenges and opportunities facing women in education today and come to understand when and how gender plays a role in both organizational and personal advancement. And we will end with a discussion about the “Me Too” movement and how this may affect women in the workplace today and into the future.

Join representatives from Alberta Education to learn more about the preliminary draft of the implementation plan for the new curriculum. Alberta Education will share a draft of the plan, developed in collaboration with leaders from across the education system, in order to gather insight and feedback from teachers on the proposed approach.
