Curriculum

THE BC  FOCUS: 
Reconciliation through Education 

The redesigned curriculum, with its focus on Big Ideas, Core Competencies, Curricular Competencies, and essential Content, is intended to be an enabling framework, giving teachers space and flexibility to innovate learning experiences with students.  The curriculum design respects the unique nature of study disciplines while supporting cross-curricular learning.  Redesigned provincial curriculum supports student-driven, inquiry-based approaches to teaching and learning by placing an increased focus on concepts and content that address “real-world” issues and problems. 

Priorities:

• Equity, access and improving outcomes for Indigenous learners by making systemic shifts and through integrating Indigenous worldviews and perspectives into learning for all students. “Indigenous Learning For Everyone, Every Day”.  This includes using the First Peoples Principles of Learning to inform lesson planning and also how student may reflect on and assess their own learning;

• Revitalizing Indigenous languages;     

• BC Tripartite Education Agreement.
