Elementary school teachers will be reviewing drafts of a new kindergarten to Grade 6 curriculum during online meetings during the first week of December, the government says. Colin Aitchison, press secretary to Education Minister Adriana LaGrange, said the government has also extended the deadline to Friday for schools and school divisions to nominate teachers to new curriculum working groups. Emails sent last week to schools and division superintendents asked them to nominate teachers with expertise in a range of grades and subjects. They also panned the exclusion of academics from the working groups. The education minister has said some of the suggestions aren't realistic and that residential schools will be taught in elementary schools.
