About this Learning Opportunity

What do I need to know to be better prepared to teach Math in the Fall. We will be taking a look at the new Outcomes and will link them to the Math Progressions. Will students be ready? Is there anything we will need to do before teaching the new outcomes? Once we have uncovered the New Curriculum we will link to the resources and make a plan for the 2022-23 school year.

All learning opportunities with the ERLC regional team will focus on the Alberta Education and district priority areas.
