Over the course of last month, STAR Catholic School Division conducted an in-depth analysis of the Government of Alberta’s draft K-6 curriculum. This included a comprehensive review of the curriculum by committees of teachers from each grade level, as well as surveys of both teachers and families.
Of the K-6 teachers surveyed, 98% said they would not be interested in piloting the draft curriculum, with most respondents indicating that a lack of energy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as concerns with the draft curriculum, were contributing factors in their decision. Of the parents surveyed, 93% indicated they would not be in support of the Division participating in the pilot program.
