With the start of the 2013 -2014 school year this past week, Alberta Education is helping students, parents, and teachers get a head start.
Those getting ready for school are encouraged to head to www.education.alberta.ca/backtoschool to learn more about the current curriculum and useful resources for school.
For students, there is information regarding their curriculum, helpful study tips, and links to bullying prevention. Students can also learn ways to develop their leadership skills.
Students, parents, and teachers can get a head start on preparing for the upcoming school year. Alberta Education has posted a bevy of tools to teach about the current curriculum, study habits, homework advice and more. The site can be found at www.education.alberta.ca/backtoschool.
Parents can find useful resources to be more involved in their child’s education, such as a toolkit that breaks down the curriculum of each grade and subject level, providing details on what students will learn and how they may be assessed. Parents will also find tips for helping with homework, resources for supporting a healthy lifestyle, and information on out-of-school care.
Teachers can find information on curriculum implementation, high school completion programs, digital citizenship, teaching resources, and creating welcoming education environments.
