Eight advisers who helped craft Alberta's controversial new elementary school curriculum drafts are back to work on the higher grades, CBC News has learned. The provincial government initially refused to disclose which "subject matter experts" were contracted to provide advice on the development of a new junior high and high school curriculum. A list, obtained by a freedom of information request, shows eight prior elementary curriculum advisers were hired for work on the upper grades as of March 29 — the day the elementary drafts were publicly released. Snider said Alberta Education is "committed to listening and working with parents, education partners and Albertans to make improvements on the draft curriculum." She wrote and designed curriculum for both Alberta Education and Edmonton Public Schools.
