Approximately 200 Grade 1-6 teachers in Red Deer Public Schools took part in a division-wide curriculum refresh to strengthen student learning.

They came together over several weeks near the end of February, focused on classroom practice and ensuring students benefit from the most up-to-date learning resources.

Led by the Division’s Learning Services Coordinators, the collaborative sessions focused on mathematics, language arts, social studies, First Nations, Metis and Inuit education, and French Immersion programming.

“This curriculum refresh represents our commitment to ensure excellence in teaching and learning in every classroom,” said Dan Lower, Deputy Superintendent for Red Deer Public Schools. “By investing in our teachers and ensuring they have the most current resources and a shared understanding of curriculum expectations, we are directly supporting positive outcomes for students.”

The sessions provided time for teachers to not only review the materials but also collaborate with colleagues across schools and deepen their understanding of curriculum changes.

For students, this means consistent, engaging instruction that is grounded in current best practices and culturally responsive approaches.

“When teachers have the opportunity to learn together, share expertise, and access updated resources together, the impact is felt immediately in the classroom,” said Dan. “Students benefit from cohesive programming, strong instructional practices and educators who are confident and well-supported in delivering the curriculum in their classrooms.”
