The Ministry of Education, trustees, supervisory officers, principals, teachers, parents, school councils, special education advisory committees, students and education organizations share implementation. In consultation with its partners, the Ministry establishes expectations for consistent province-wide policy implementation. Support, resources and training are important for effective implementation. This includes helping schools, principals and teachers meet the needs of exceptional students. Teachers and principals are key implementers, as they use professional expertise to align teaching, assessment and reporting practices with the new curriculum and policies.
Implementation is an ongoing process.
Curriculum development, monitoring and renewal take time. Following is a snapshot of training, videos, and documents available prior to September 1999. Training Kindergarten - Grade 9 Orientation sessions on all policy documents. Kindergarten - Grade 9 Summer institutes. Grade 9 Discipline specific workshops by region on content expectations, successful practices and student assessment.
