Alberta K-6 Draft Curriculum
Have your say! As professional educators in the province, our feedback is crucial. Here are 2 ways to get started.
1. The Alberta government is asking for feedback. Let's give it to them (this link)
2. Alberta Advocacy Group SOS "Support Our Students" has a survey and a convenient template for sending emails to Alberta government offficials. Start here.
Note: The provincial government has started recruiting teachers to participate in curriculum working groups. While the ATA will not oppose teachers volunteering, the Association encourages individuals to exercise their own professional judgement.

Hands Off My Pension
We’ve been loud and clear. Hands off our pension!
Even though the Alberta Teachers’ Retirement Fund has a stellar investment track record, the government is still going to limit ATRF to using AIMCo as their sole investment manager.
We cannot let up. Send your MLA a letter and tell them to repeal Bill 22.
