Alberta Education's curriculum redesign has moved on to prototyping - the co-development of new curriculum for K-12. Alberta Education has sent out a Request for Proposals to school authorities to work with partners to co-create the new curriculum. Partners may include: post-secondary institutions, business and industry, non-profit and community organizations and others. You may have a role to play in supporting school authorities in developing excellent environmental education opportunities so feel free to connect with your local school board.

ACEE created the Environmental Education Framework to support the development of new cross-curricular, competency based curriculum. ACEE encourages all school authorities and their partners to use this resource as they develop new curriculum. The deadline for school authorities submissions is November 1st, 2013.

Contact  Gareth Thomson at ACEE if you have any ideas about this process.  

Come together with other emerging change-makers and become an active participant in defining what meaningful work means to you.  

Take part in creating a regenerative economy that supports people and the planet.

This is a unique opportunity to:

• Figure out where you fit in the new economy
• Learn about emerging environmental and social entrepreneurship careers
• Create an action plan for advancing your personal and professional goals

The focus of the weekend in Canmore is encouraging dialogue, brainstorming and capacity building as we all move toward creating our own 'meaningful work' that sustains people and ecosystem integrity.
