Revision of K–12 Fine Arts Programs of Study
To achieve improved outcomes for all students, Alberta Education is revising the Fine Arts programs of study. A K–12 Arts Education Curriculum Framework will provide vision and direction for new programs of study. The draft K–12 Arts Education Curriculum Framework proposes a unified vision for Arts Education in Alberta, across the four arts disciplines from elementary through senior high. It outlines opportunities for learning in, about and through the arts.
Read the Arts Education Fact Sheet for more information.
We have heard from interested Albertans that more time is needed to respond to the draft framework, so we are pleased to announce that we have extended the timeline to January 31, 2010.
Add your feedback, suggestions and comments to the online discussion questions. Two new questions have been added.
