Bennett, PRSD turn down draft curriculum; will not plot draft proposal

Peace River School Division Superintendent, Paul Bennett is today’s guest on the Trending 55 Hot Seat. Like the Northland School Division and the Conseil Scolaire du Nord-Ouest, the PRSD will not be piloting the Kindergarten-Grade 6 draft curriculum put forward by the Alberta Government.

“After a careful review of the curriculum, we have decided we will not participate in piloting any of the new curriculum during the next school year” says Bennett in a statement on the division’s website.

“In addition to concerns with the new K-6 curriculum, we are also very reluctant to add extra stress to our students and staff during an already very stressful time.”

Our full discussion with Bennett can be heard below.
