Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) president Jason Schilling has issued the following statement about developing a new curriculum for junior high school students.
“The Alberta Teachers’ Association is encouraged to be part of the process which will help shape a curriculum that engages and promotes success for junior high school students. However, it’s our hope that teachers’ experiences and insights are included at the curriculum writing table and not brought in as an afterthought. While we remain optimistic, how this process will unfold remains to be seen.”
—Jason Schilling, ATA president
