The province has partnered with more than 100 teachers to develop new curriculum to be introduced into classrooms on the West Shore and across B.C. in the next three years.

The Minister of Education and the B.C. TeacherB次元官网网址檚 Federation also teamed up on a wide-ranging support plan to allow teachers to get the information and training needed to bring the new curriculum to life in their classrooms. The plan includes:

B次元官网网址� Learning sessions for teachers at provincial and local levels

B次元官网网址� Webinars, videos and district-level teams to enable teachers to learn first-hand what is working in the classroom

B次元官网网址� Extra time set aside over the three years so districts and teachers associations can collaborate on training for teachers

B次元官网网址� Dedication of two existing professional development days to the new curriculum in 2016-17 and 2017-18.

The new K-12 curriculum maps out what is expected to be taught  in classrooms across the province. It will be phased in, with kindergarten to Grade 9 available for teachers to use this year on a trial basis, and full implementation next year.

B次元官网网址淭he BCTF and its members have been key partners in building the new curriculum and this support plan,B次元官网网址� Education Minister Mike Bernier said in a release. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 my hope we build on this work together for an even more collaborative relationship moving forward.B次元官网网址�
