Overview
As part of Alberta’s ongoing curriculum renewal process, Alberta Education is continuing to engage on the development of new curriculum for junior high mathematics and social studies, grades 7 to 10 physical education and wellness, and career and life management (CALM).
This approach will gather input from stakeholders, education partners and teachers to inform curriculum development. They will also provide feedback on content for career education, financial literacy, basic life skills and home maintenance and will provide input on how best to organize content and courses to meet students’ needs for career readiness and student success. It will also ensure continuity as curriculum renewal progresses from elementary to junior high school.
The final curriculum in these subjects is anticipated to be implemented in the 2026/27 school year.
Alberta Education will continue to use a phased approach to develop curriculum for the remaining grades and subjects. Information about future engagement opportunities will be shared as it becomes available.
