Early Literacy Initiative For some children, learning to read does not come easily. The Early Literacy Initiative is designed to identify and assist students in kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 in public, private and charter schools experiencing difficulty in reading. The Initiative also provides funding for more human resources to school authorities to support early literacy programs.
Some students face challenges due to physical or developmental disabilities.
The Student Health Initiative is a joint endeavour of Alberta government departments of Learning, Health and Wellness, Children's Services as well as the Alberta Mental Health Board. The purpose of this initiative is to enhance the provision of integrated health and related support services for children identified with special health needs and registered with Alberta Learning in public, private, institutional and homebound programs. Native Education Policy Review Alberta Learning in partnership with schools, Aboriginal communities and government departments is working to ensure that Aboriginal students are successful at school. In the summer of 1999, Alberta Learning initiated a review of the 1987 Native Education Policy in Alberta. The review is being conducted through a partnership with First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people.
