Renewed Provincial Curriculum in BC
The redesigned curriculum, with its focus on Big Ideas, Core Competencies, Curricular Competencies, and essential Content, is intended to be an enabling framework, giving teachers space and flexibility to innovate with students. The curriculum design respects the unique nature of study disciplines while supporting cross-curricular learning. Redesigned provincial curriculum supports student-driven, inquiry-based approaches to teaching and learning by placing an increased focus on concepts and content that address “real-world” issues and problems.
Indigenous Peoples' Knowledge and Perspectives Included throughout the Curriculum
An important part of curriculum transformation is the authentic and respectful inclusion of Indigenous perspectives, culture, and knowledge. Aboriginal peoples are part of the historical and contemporary foundation of British Columbia and Canada, and an introduction to Aboriginal perspectives provides BC students with an opportunity to develop empathy, respect, and good citizenship. Aboriginal knowledge and perspectives have been integrated throughout all areas of learning - all subject areas. From Kindergarten to graduation, students will experience Aboriginal perspectives and understandings integrated with what they are learning. Aboriginal education will be for everyone, every day.
