A new task force will recommend ways to build stronger connections between schools and jobs while helping students enter their chosen field sooner and ensuring employers have the skilled workers they need.
RED DEER Two more central Alberta schools have decided not to pilot the new K to 6 draft curriculum. The Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools (RDCRS) Board of Trustees voted on Tuesday that the division will be opting out of piloting the new draft K to 6 curriculum this fall. The decision came after seven days of hearing feedback from teachers who provided their input on the curriculum. Red Deer Catholic officials said they plan to share this feedback, along with the division’s review of the curriculum, with Alberta Education. “The division will undertake a comprehensive curriculum review over the coming months and share the findings and recommendations with Alberta Education,” said Board Chair Kim Pasula.
