Students may also choose to enrol in an elective course. Four provincially developed 20 level courses will be available and may be used to fulfil an elective option. The ELA A10 and B10 courses will be available for implementation in the 1997-98 school year. The compulsory ELA 20 and the elective 20 level courses will be available for implementation in the 1998-99 year. The new ELA A30 and B30 courses will be available for implementation in the 1999-2000 school year.
Schools have three years to implement new curricula.
Saskatchewan Education provides implementation inservice during this period. Contact your Regional Coordinator of Curriculum and Instruction for details of workshops. Teachers need to prepare for the implementation of the new curriculum. It is important to provide time and opportunities for teachers to develop an awareness, and to explore, refine, and become adept with new philosophies and practices. The Learning Objectives provide the framework for all activities and, therefore, the resources should be selected to support the objectives.
