New educational standards will support student mental health, ensure educators have the tools they need to teach about Indigenous culture and boost student success. The new quality standards specify what competencies teachers, principals, school leaders, and superintendents must demonstrate to teach and lead in Alberta’s education system. In addition to renewing the focus on establishing safe and inclusive learning environments, the new competencies will ensure teachers can apply foundational knowledge about First Nations, Métis and Inuit to enrich the learning experience of all students.
