Teachers,
school leaders, students, parents, community leaders – we’re all involved in
the success of Alberta’s youth. Inspiring Education began as a
collaboration among Albertans, and we want to keep it that way. Parents
are true partners in achieving the vision of Inspiring Education, and we
need to work together to ensure all students succeed.
It is in
this spirit of collaboration that I invite your school councils and parents to
join me, together with Brad Vonkeman, President of the Alberta School Councils’
Association, and Claudine Lajoie, President of the Fédération des parents
francophones de l’Alberta, to learn more about our progress on Inspiring
Education and initiatives like Curriculum Redesign.
Our special
guest will be Dr. Glenn Feltham, President and CEO of the Northern Alberta
Institute of Technology and Chair of the Task Force for Teaching Excellence.
As a
participant, you can also share what you consider to be priorities for our
ongoing work to ensure that Alberta kids continue to have access to
leading-edge learning opportunities.
When
Monday,
April 14
8 p.m. to 9
p.m.
