Curriculum Implementation Day #1 - Students not in session
2016-01-11 08:45 - 17:40
On Monday, November 16, 2015, the Board of Education approved an amendment to the 2015/2016 school year calendar to include two curriculum implementation days (January 11, 2016 and April 4, 2016) to help support teachers with the transition to the new curriculum.
This year, every school district in British Columbia will be starting the process of transitioning to the new Provincial Curriculum Framework. To support the transition, the Ministry of Education will be providing time for educators to become familiar with the new curriculum. During the 2015-16 school year, two non-instructional days will be designated for educators to work directly with the new curriculum.
In accordance with the School Act, “School calendar – amendment, 87.02 (3) The Board, must, as soon as practicable and, in any event within 30 days of amending a school calendar under subsection (1), make available to the public the amended school calendar.”
