Information Related to Revisions to Programs of Study
Alberta Education is providing leadership for the Western and Northern Canadian Protocol (WNCP) to make revisions to the WNCP Common Curriculum Framework (CCF) for K-12 Mathematics. Interim drafts of the CCF for Kindergarten to Grade 9 Mathematics and the report summarizing feedback on the consultation draft are on the WNCP Web site. A Consultation Draft of the CCF for 10-12 Mathematics will be available in early 2007. New Alberta programs of study will be developed based on the revised WNCP CCF for K-12 Mathematics.
