EDMONTON Edmonton Catholic Schools is the latest Alberta school division to decide not to pilot the draft K-6 curriculum during the 2021-22 school year. The draft has been marred in controversy, with concerns about its content, academic language and timing during the pandemic. “We believe the conditions have not been met for a quality piloting process,” said ECSD Chief Superintendent Robert Martin. “This decision is based on the voices of more than 1,000 teachers.” “Across the different curriculum areas there are questions about the age appropriate, there are lots of instances where information is brought from what is currently older grades down to younger grades and our teachers had lots of questions whether that content was appropriate,” said Nicole Lafreniere, Director of Curriculum and Professional Learning.
He added that while smaller Herkimer County schools have had the capacity to bus students who wanted to attend school in person, under the old 6-foot rule, they lacked the classroom space to bring those students back. Those schools benefit from the 6-foot/3-foot change in guidance, but Central Valley does not. Central Valley needs a guidance change that allows us to put more kids on buses for it to affect us,” he said.
The Little Falls City School District plans to bring its fourth- and fifth-graders back to five-days a week in-person learning starting Monday, April 26, according to School Superintendent Keith Levatino.
