Off-campus Education  |  Program Supports

Authorization indicates that the resources meet Alberta Education’s evaluation criteria. However, the use of authorized resources is not mandatory for program delivery. The decision to use provincially authorized resources is at the discretion of the teacher and the principal, in alignment with policies set by their school authority.

Teachers use their professional judgement, and their knowledge of their students and their local community, to select the most appropriate resources to meet the needs of their students.

COVID-19 Safety Measures

Keep students safe in work placements by following the health and safety measures in the Off-campus Education Handbook (2019) and Public Health Orders.

NEW – September 2019

• The Off-campus Education Handbook (2019) provides guidance for implementing off-campus education programs and supports school authorities in offering a safe and caring off-campus education experience for all students participating in these programs.
