District ready for school with redesigned curriculum – BCLocalNews.com
With new indigenous elements integrated into the curriculum, one teacher says the district is ready for the school year.
“(Using) our Aboriginal Education program, we’ve taken the redesigned curriculum and all of the outcomes and put all of our presentations and presenters in line with the new curriculum grade by grade,” said Central Okanagan School District aboriginal resource teacher Kevin Kaiser.
The district has also adjusted its website to make it easier for teachers to find resources, said Kaiser.
The new B.C. curriculum requires more First Nations’ content and history at the elementary and middle school levels as part of its move toward more critical thinking and away from traditional models of teaching.
