Prairie Rose opts out of curriculum pilot
Poll
Federal government
After teachers within the division took a long look at the Alberta government’s proposed K-6 curriculum, Prairie Rose Public Schools is joining a long list of Alberta schools opting out of piloting the draft curriculum.
The Medicine Hat Public School Division and Medicine Hat Catholic Board of Education opted out of piloting at the beginning of April, but PRPS wanted to take more time before coming to a decision.
“We wanted to take a very informed and objective view and let our professional teachers, experts in the field so to speak who teach those grade levels, to take a good look at what this new curriculum would mean for our K-6 kids,” said Roger Clarke, PRPS’s superintendent.
