Curriculum And Instruction
NLSD No. 113 Curriculum Consultants work with teachers at all levels to build understanding about curriculum across all subjects and help them to use the new outcomes and indicators in unit planning. Consultants have developed a one-page Curriculum Reference Guide for each grade to assist teachers and administrators with planning and monitoring of curriculum implementation. Curriculum support is also offered to teachers in how First Nations and Métis knowledge can be effectively embedded into all areas of the Saskatchewan Curriculum.
