Provincial Consultation on Public Education
One of the issues that have arisen from our mental health focus is the importance of early intervention and teaching positive mental health skills through the education system. Alberta Education is conducting a curriculum review process, and we want to make sure that our priorities are considered.
- We are asking you to fill out the survey, which can be found at: https://www.alberta.ca/vision-for-student-learning-engagement.aspx
-
Fill out the survey as you choose, but on questions 14, 17 and/or 19 we are asking that you make two points (Please modify to put in your own words) these are:
- That the curriculum teaches about mental health, positive mental health skills, and that this is integrated throughout the curriculum.
- For there to be a positive learning environment and to overcome barriers to learning that each school has access to adequate psychological counseling services and family support workers.
