Whew, what a meeting, apart from the fact that the whole meeting ended up turning into a box of frogs, a few pieces of information did come out. Here are a few:
1. We have adopted the IGCSE program. Click here to see what it looks like.
2. You can leave a comment and/or question for the board chair Mr. Byrne on the Ministry site. Click here.
3.The new curriculum is due to be implemented in September 2009.
4. Certain programmes will remain such as the reading initiative.
5. A few teachers will be trained by Cambridge as workshop presenters on how to use the curriculum.
6. Certain elective courses may be cut at the middle school level.
7. Vocational courses will be implemented in the new curriculum.
Interesting meeting, but the Talking Teacher wonders if we are equating reform with the new curriculum, are we? What do you think? Leave a comment.
