Catholic school division rejects draft curriculum
Poll
Yes
Joining a growing list of school divisions across the province, Holy Spirit Catholic School Division says it will not pilot the new Alberta K-6 draft curriculum over what it calls the “inadequacies and shortcomings” it sees in the type of learning being offered to students. “Although there are some good points in the curriculum draft, there are way too many bad points in it,” says Holy Spirit Board of Trustees chair Bob Spitzig. “It doesn’t support quality learning. To roll out K-6, six years, all at one time as subject matters is too much of a burden for our teachers and our staff, and in a pandemic year is just no good.
