There is nothing more important than to make sure our children get the best education and the best chance to succeed. The 12 initiatives build on Alberta's strong foundation in education by focusing on student issues like early literacy, improved classroom support and meeting special needs.
Special attention is paid to the early grades.
A key feature in the plan are the outcome statements. Alberta Education will assess the impact of these 12 initiatives to make sure they are achieving the expected results. The plan will change to meet changing needs. The public document is being distributed to all schools, boards and educational organizations in the province. A highlights document will be sent home with students to help parents understand what the changes and re-investments mean to their child's education.
