"I found it so exciting to see the use of real collaborative consultation, real collaborative discussion in practice." Dr. Helen Haste, April 12, 2011

Mapping out the future of curriculum requires the engagement of many stakeholders, using both face-to-face and technology-supported engagement activities.

Our engagement activities will ensure that multiple perspectives have been captured and collated as we validate research and best practices as we move forward.

We encourage you to visit this page on a regular basis to view our upcoming engagement events. Our hope is that you will participate in one or many of the upcoming events to help shape the future of curriculum in Alberta.
