The Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium (ERLC) is one of six regional consortia in
Alberta established to support regional professional development needs for all those who influence student learning. We work with schools, school authorities and our seven partner organizations
to create professional development opportunities in an
ongoing, coordinated and cost-effective manner.
OUR MISSION:
"Partners in adult learning for students' sake"
OUR VISION:
As an advocate for quality professional development and as a service provider, ERLC works with its partners to develop, implement and assess professional development programs and comprehensive plans that support adult learning for students' sake.
OUR GOALS:
- to facilitate professional development which supports the effective implementation of components of:
- the Alberta Education Business Plan
- Jurisdiction and school education plans
- Regional School Council priorities
- to facilitate professional development which supports the effective implementation of curricula, including instruction, assessment, and student learning outcomes,
- to coordinate, broker, and act as a referral centre to assist stakeholders to identify available professional development resources,
- to deliver professional development based on the identified and emerging needs of educational stakeholders,
- to promote and support the development of professional development leadership capacity, and
- to provide educational stakeholders with access to professional development at a reasonable cost.

for all to access, please visit the Alberta Regional Professional Development Consortium website.
We plan learning opportunities based on advice from the region we serve, most often received from advisory committee members and participant feedback from sessions. We also rely on the professional literature and provincial knowledge about effective professional development and curriculum implementation. Provincial resources that guide are work include:
