A new curriculum is being proposed for Alberta grades K-6. On June 29, join us as we discuss the proposal with educators from @mountroyal4u, examining the potential benefits and challenges of the plan: https://t.co/6hsMc2dyWq #calgaryschools#yyc#yyckids
Our new online database details 250+ books, poems, songs, art collections & websites by Indigenous creators. This resource will help K-12 teachers bring Indigenous storytelling into the classroom. Visit: https://t.co/O7qbbRosQ4 #WorldBookDay#Indigenousknowledge#abed#curriculum
I’ve been thinking about the ethical space of consent in classroom-based assessment - what it is that students implicitly agree to when their learning is subjected to evaluation and how they assent to that information being used. Thoughts on who I should be reading on this topic?
@NetworkVibrio Reading Gayatri Spivak. “We all know that when we engage profoundly with one person, the responses come from both sides: this is responsibility and accountability...The object of ethical action is not an object of benevolence, for here responses flow from both sides.”
OK. So. If we agree that curriculum development in AB requires the collective efforts of students, parents, experts, Elders and teachers operating at arm’s length from the provincial government, it makes no sense to sit around and wait for the government to create such a body.
Listening to Landemore discuss participatory democratic processes to address complex societal issues has me all fired up about the notion of a citizens’ assembly for curriculum development. https://t.co/kWP8MyPU4X
@dinnerwithjulie This is your daily reminder that YOU DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS. We love you. This would be fantastic. You don't have time to teach Foods to 9000 online learners.

There has been much debate around the draft k-6 curriculum documents released by the Alberta government last week. Unlike most posts and opinion papers I’ve read, I *don’t* think our provincial government should make revisions to this curriculum. Hear me out.
