Description

The CBE is developing a K-12 Mathematics Strategy to improve clarity and coherence in math teaching and learning across the district. The insights and experiences of students, teachers, administrators, and post-secondary educators have been gathered to inform the development of the strategy, and we are now in the parent engagement process. Multiple engagement processes (face-to-face and online) designed to capture parent/guardian perspectives will take place over the next couple of months to continue to inform decisions regarding the CBE K-12 Mathematics Strategy.

There are five upcoming opportunities for parents/guardians to engage in face-to-face discussions with other parents about math education. At these in-person sessions, there will be a short presentation followed by small group table discussions. In both the face-to-face and online engagement opportunities, parents will be invited to answer the following questions:

1. What does it mean to be "good" in math?

2. What support does your child need to be successful in learning mathematics?

3. What would help you, as a parent/guardian, support your child as they learn mathematics?

4. Given that Alberta Education determines the mathematics curriculum, what do you think is important for CBE to consider as we develop a CBE K-12 mathematics strategy?

There is a maximum of 100 participants per session, so please register early. Parents/guardians can attend any of the five sessions, so if one session is full, please register for one of the other four sessions.
