Redesigned Curriculum Implementation

Throughout the 2015/16 school year, educators in our district continued to come together to share ideas, best practices and engaging lessons that would bring the new curriculum alive in our classrooms. This year it will be fully implemented throughout BC from kindergarten to grade 9. The Ministry of Education will continue to work closely with school districts on finalizing the redesigned curriculum for grades 10-12, which is expected to be implemented in the Fall of 2017.

Updated information re: Redesigned Curriculum

The BC Ministry of Education is building on one of the world’s most successful school systems in the world. Working together with more than 100 BC teachers over the past three years they have been refining BC’s curriculum with a focus on personalized learning.

As you are aware, during the 2015/16 school year, the redesigned curriculum was piloted from K to grade 9. Beginning September 2016 it will be fully implemented in these grades. Additionally, teachers of grade 10-12 students will have the option to use the redesigned curriculum in their classrooms.

At the same time, the Ministry of Education is also updating the graduation program and provincial assessment with implementation expected between 2016 and 2018.

The Ministry of Education has just provided some updated information with regards to the redesigned curriculum. We encourage you to take some time to get familiar with the exciting learning journey that lies ahead for your child.
